Description:

The Department of English Language and Literature at Hong Kong Baptist
University is seeking to make two appointments in support of the following
research niche areas within its Language and Communication studies curriculum:

(i) Health Communication and Traditional Chinese Medicine;
(ii) Language and Gender Studies in the Asian/Chinese/Hong Kong context(s);
and
(iii) World Englishes, Regional (English) Language Varieties, Generative
Syntax, Semantics, Phonology and Tone, Morphology, Hong Kong English.

In support of these several departmental research niche areas, appointees are
expected to be experienced and innovative teachers capable of teaching in at
least two of the following (sub)disciplines: a) Multimodal Approaches to
Health Communication; b) Discourse Analysis and Health Communication; c)
Language, Gender, and Intercultural Communication; d) regional
(Asian/Chinese/Hong Kong) “area” studies in Gender and Language; e) Syntax and
Semantics; and f) Second Language Acquisition. 

The appointees should be able to teach a range of courses, including both core
and electives courses, in the Department’s undergraduate programme, the
‘double degree’ programme in English and English Language Teaching, general
education courses and, where appropriate, taught MA programmes in Language
Studies (MALS) and Literary and Comparative studies (MALCS).

The appointees are expected to be active members in Department and
Faculty-level administration including (but not limited to) undergraduate and
postgraduate student mentoring and the supervision of undergraduate honours
projects.  The appointees will likewise be expected to recruit and to direct
top-quality, international PhD candidates in support of their respective
research programme(s) and tailored to the development of the Department’s
strategic research niche areas specified above.  Outstanding teaching
credentials are required.   

Applicants should possess a PhD degree in Linguistics or a relevant field. 
They should be established researchers of impact in their areas of research
specialisation, with an already successful (or promising) track record in
acquiring publically funded grants and documented service to the global
profession.  They should also possess a strong and active research programme
(including forthcoming peer-reviewed books and articles published in top-tier
venues), as well as a demonstrated interest in collaborative work in the
cross-cultural context.  A commitment to working in a multilingual and
cross-cultural setting is essential.  Some knowledge of Chinese, written and
spoken, will be an advantage but is not strictly required.

Initial appointment will be made on a fixed-term contract of three years
commencing September 2017.  Re-appointment thereafter is subject to mutual
agreement and availability of funding. 

Remuneration package includes retirement/gratuity benefits, annual leave,
medical and dental scheme, housing assistance and relocation allowance
wherever appropriate.

Rank and salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
