Description:

The senior lecturer will primarily teach, supervise, and develop courses in
English linguistics on the undergraduate level, but may also be given similar
duties at the master’s and doctoral levels. The successful applicant will
bring expertise in corpus linguistics to research projects and to teaching on
various levels. They will have broad and deep knowledge of English linguistics
and the ability to teach courses and supervise essays within many areas of the

They will also be able to teach language proficiency courses and courses in

The senior lecturer may also be required to teach courses and modules aimed at

In terms of research, the successful applicant will have an excellent track
record within central areas of English linguistics (especially syntax,
semantics, morphology, phonetics, and phonology) and a background in corpus
linguistics. Relevant theoretical and methodological expertise beyond these
areas is also welcome. A minimum of 20% of working hours are set aside for
research.

The ideal candidate for this position will have an interest in researching and
teaching historical linguistics, as this is an area the English unit is
seeking to strengthen.

corresponding research expertise or some other professional expertise that is
of value in view of the subject matter of the post and the duties that it will
involve,

 - completed at least five weeks of training in teaching and learning in
higher education or acquired equivalent competence by other means.
 - excellent written and spoken English
 - documented experience of high-quality, corpus-based linguistic research
 - documented, extensive experience of undergraduate and master’s level
teaching and supervision within English linguistics at university.

Assessment criteria:
 - the degree of research, teaching, administrative and other expertise that
is of value in view of the work duties and subject matter of the post as well
as other personal skills of relevance to perform the duties well.
 - a good international standing as a researcher,
 - good teaching ability, including a good ability to conduct, develop and
lead teaching and other educational activities at different levels and using a
variety of teaching methods,
 - an ability to participate in supervising doctoral students,
