Description:

The School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics wishes to appoint
an outstanding teacher and scholar as a full-time Lecturer in Child Language
Acquisition. 

You will have a completed PhD in Linguistics or English Language (in hand or
near completion) and have experience in teaching child language acquisition at
undergraduate level. Proficiency in the collection, handling and quantitative
analysis of child language data is essential. Also essential is excellent
knowledge in one or more of the following areas of linguistics: phonetics/
phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics/ pragmatics. You will have an
excellent publication record for your career stage. You should also be able to
demonstrate clear potential for making a significant contribution to the
School’s and Faculty’s collaborative teaching and research culture, which
includes a capacity for academic and societal impacts through scholarly
publication, community outreach and engagement. You will be an active member
of the Language Evolution, Acquisition and Development research group, and
share the group’s commitment to inter-disciplinary research. 

The Language and Linguistics subject group in SELLL has particular research
and teaching strengths in: language acquisition, evolution and development;
linguistic theory; language and cognition; and language variation and change.
Funded projects over the past few years have addressed issues across these
sub-disciplines, including topical research on language, migration and
identity and work on language learning by immigrant adults. Considerable
funding has also been attracted for research into and the development of a
‘big data’ corpus of North Eastern English. Funding has been won too for
research in language and cognition as well as in comparative syntax, most
recently through a project with colleagues at Cambridge on novel approaches to
parametric variation in syntax. In addition to the wide range of undergraduate
teaching and learning offered by the Language and Linguistics subject group in
SELLL, the group also lead the MA in Linguistics and IPhD in English Language
and Linguistics. We have had considerable success too in supporting
postgraduate research via the UK Research & Innovation-funded doctoral
training partnerships known as ‘Northern Bridge’ and ‘NINE’.  

Newcastle University also has a very well-resourced Linguistics Laboratory
(LingLab). LingLab is the central hub for supporting empirical and
experimental linguistics and language science research. The lab hosts a wide
range of state-of-the-art facilities and equipment that facilitate
high-quality linguistics research, including: multiple sound-attenuated booths
with specialist recording equipment; computers with software for audio-visual
analysis; an eye-tracker for psycholinguistic research into reading and
language processing; additional equipment such as ultrasound tongue imaging
and electroglottography; and a range of other resources to support
psycholinguistic, corpus, articulatory and phonetic research. 

Staff in the Language and Linguistics subject group in SELLL collaborate with
linguists in two other Schools (School of Modern Languages and School of
Education, Communication and Language Sciences) as well as with colleagues at
the Centre for Behaviour and Evolution. 

Newcastle University is committed to developing a fully inclusive global
University community. The School actively encourages applications from
under-represented groups.
