Description:

The School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics wishes to appoint a
Lecturer in Language and Cognition.

You will have a PhD in Linguistics, Cognitive Science or a related field (in
hand or near completion) and experience in undergraduate teaching of a field
of linguistics related to language and cognition, as well as the fundamentals
of linguistics as a subject area.  

We are open to candidates from a variety of different primary and secondary
fields (e.g., language evolution, neurolinguistics/psycholinguistics, language
acquisition, syntax, semantics/pragmatics).  An excellent publication record
for your career stage and the potential to make a significant contribution to
the research culture of both the School and our Faculty are essential. 

Whatever the specific primary or secondary field, we expect that candidates
will have some background in experimental methodology and quantitative
analysis, and can teach these methods at a high level. We particularly
encourage candidates with a collaborative bent, who can envision themselves
working with theoreticians and experimentalists in a variety of fields, and
who can situate their study of language in the wider study of cognition,
and/or other scientific fields.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to play an important role
in shaping the Language and Linguistics Subject Group’s emerging research
directions in Language and Cognition, where Research Excellence
Academy/British Academy postdoctoral fellows have already been appointed and
strategic collaborations are developing between other Schools in the Faculty
(e.g., the School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences) and
cross-Faculty Research Groups.  Our School has strong ties with the Centre for
Behaviour and Evolution and the Institute of Neuroscience, and collaborate on
their Masters and PhD programmes in evolution, human behaviour and animal
behaviour (particularly their collaborative Leverhulme Doctoral Scholarships)

The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to a Stage 1 module
which situates the study of language within its broader intellectual and
scientific context, as well as to design and deliver honors-level modules in
their particular area of expertise.  Lecturing staff in addition participate
in the School’s thriving postgraduate culture by teaching on MA programmes and
supervising PhD students.

Informal enquiries can be made to: Dr Geoff Poole, Head of the School’s
Language/Linguistics Subject Group: Geoffrey.Poole at ncl.ac.uk or Dr James
Annesley, Head of School, James.Annesley at ncl.ac.uk.

The University holds a silver Athena SWAN award in recognition of our good
employment practices for the advancement of gender equality, and the
University holds the HR Excellence in Research award for our work to support
the career development of our researchers. We are also a member of the
Euraxess network. 

Applications can only be accepted through the Newcastle University Job Vacancy
website provided below.
