Description:

The Department of English Language and Literature at Hong Kong Baptist
University intends to make two open-rank appointments in support of its
Language and Communication Studies curriculum. 

Specifically, applicants are required to have a proven track record of
excellence in teaching and research in the following areas of linguistics: a)
language and technology; b) Hong Kong English and regional language varieties;
and c) gender and intercultural communication in the Asian context.  Cluster
hires in these specific areas of strength may be favorably considered. 

The appointees should teach at range effectively, including both core and
electives courses in the department’s undergraduate curriculum, the ‘double
degree’ undergraduate programme in English and English Language Teaching,
general education courses and, where appropriate, the taught MA programme in
Language Studies (MALS).  They will also be expected to supervise
undergraduate honours project theses, as well as to recruit and direct
top-quality, international PhD candidates in support of the department’s
on-going research postgraduate studies programme. 

Applicants should possess a PhD degree in Linguistics/Applied Linguistics and
exercise academic leadership when conducting world-class research of impact,
including evidence of having acquired publicly funded grants, demonstrating
internationally benchmarked achievement in their areas of research
specialisation, and a strong and active research publication programme
(including forthcoming peer-reviewed books and journal articles in reputable
venues).  All appointees should possess commensurate knowledge at-depth in
their areas of research expertise, as well as ready access to professional
networks and capacity-building in these fields. 

Appointees at Professor/Associate Professor rank are likewise expected to have
achieved reliably outstanding results in senior service roles supporting
quality assurance, curriculum development, as well as undergraduate and
postgraduate student mentoring.  A demonstrated interest in collaborative work
in the cross-disciplinary as well as cross-cultural setting is essential.

Initial appointment will be made on a fixed-term contract of three years
commencing September 2018.  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.
