Description:

The Department of Language and Linguistics at Essex is seeking to appoint a

is highly desirable.

The successful candidate will hold a PhD in Syntax and will have a record of
good publications and demonstrable continued ability to publish in
internationally highly-ranked journals with a clear commitment to the
acquisition of research funding to support the development of their research.
The applicant should have the ability to offer a transformative education to
students for which experience in teaching syntax using different approaches at
the undergraduate and graduate level is highly desirable. The ability to
supervise both undergraduate projects and MA dissertations outside the
immediate area of expertise will be important in this role.

Candidates should show a commitment to developing cross-disciplinary research
and projects in the wider linguistic expertise of the department which covers
sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics and applied linguistics. The department is
keen appointment a candidate who will contribute to the diversity and
collegiality of the department.
