Description:

The Faculty of Humanities at the University of Turku invites applications for
the position of University Lecturer in German at the Department of German in
the School of Languages and Translation Studies. The position will be filled
on a permanent basis beginning on 1 August 2019.

The Department of German is part of the School of Languages and Translation
Studies. In the Department of German, research is conducted on a wide range of
topics that focus on language, culture and translation studies. German
language studies provide students with a profound knowledge of the German
language, the culture and societies of the German-speaking area, as well as
the role that multilingualism plays in the changing world of working life and
society. The studies provide a solid basis for a career in various teaching
and translation-oriented tasks as well as in other tasks that require
versatile language expertise. Both the studies and research that are conducted
in the Department focus on contemporary German language. 

In accordance with the university research career model, the position of
university lecturer is a third-stage career position. The university lecturer
is responsible for teaching the subject in the Bachelor of Arts Degree
Programme (basic and intermediate studies in German) and in the Master of Arts
Degree Programme (advanced Studies in German). The following Master’s degree
programmes in the University of Turku are used to train German-language
specialists: the Degree Programme in Language Learning and Teaching, the
Degree Programme in Multilingual Translation Studies, and the Language
Specialist Degree Programme. The university lecturer supervises theses and
participates in the development of the Department’s teaching and research, the
student admission process, administrative tasks and the acquisition of
external research funding, and they are also expected to actively pursue
independent scientific research.

The eligibility criteria for prospective applicants are defined in the
University of Turku’s rules of procedure. Prospective applicants for the
position of university lecturer must hold an appropriate doctoral degree and
have the ability to supervise theses and provide high-quality teaching that is
based on researched knowledge. During the assessment of the merits of the
applicants for the position, their scientific work, expertise in the field,
teaching experience and pedagogical education, ability to produce study
materials and other teaching merits as well as a demonstration lecture will be
taken into account as part of the process.

Successful applicants are required to demonstrate clear evidence of
postdoctoral research and a detailed research agenda to the University of
Turku. The ideal candidate must be able to speak and write German to a
native-speaker standard. The applicant’s readiness to provide instruction and
supervision to students of other languages than German will be considered an
additional merit.

The most distinguished candidates will be invited to provide a teaching sample
that will be open to the public. This sample lecture will be reviewed, and the
teaching skills evaluation committee will issue a written statement on the
teaching merits of the applicants. The candidates may also be interviewed.

The position includes a 6-month trial period.

To apply, please see the application link provided below. Application must
include: 
- A CV, an academic portfolio, 
- A list of publications, 
- A research plan / a written statement no longer than three typed pages that
lays out your vision for the future development of your research and teaching
activities within the discipline
