Job Title: Professorship for German as a Foreign Language and Language for Specific Purpose
Job Rank: Professor

Specialty Areas: General Linguistics 

Required Language(s): German (deu)

Description:

The professorship combines German as a foreign language and language for
specific purposes with intercultural and multilingual business communication,
applied multilingualism and contrastive linguistics. You will be responsible
for teaching and research in the above-mentioned fields, especially in the
fields of German business communication and communication for specific
purposes. Furthermore, you will be required to teach German as language in an
academic discourse and contrastive linguistics, both being part of the
existing and future courses at the faculty. 
You are willing to accept teaching tasks in related fields, especially in the
domains of the basics of linguistics as well as in courses focused on the
languages taught at the faculty and in further education courses at the
university. You are able to conduct the courses in German and English or
another foreign language using modern, digital teaching methods with
confidence.

The professorship is aimed at making a decisive contribution to the
internationalization of the university. The responsibility of the
professorship therefore lies in the sustainable international integration of
teaching and research activities with partner universities. This role also
includes the technical and content organization as well as the cooperation
with international partner institutions of the faculty (e.g. for the
development of double degree programmes). You should have a sensitivity and
interest in networking with companies in the region through the organization
of internships for international students. Close cooperation with other
faculties and the International Office is expected.

You will be able to work independently, and have a proactive approach to
working practices, actively seeking new opportunities for development and
improvements to workload and have a student centered approach. The further
development of the programmes of study, the organization and the didactical
conception of both analogue and digital teaching materials will be desired. As
part of this role, you will be required to supervise students, in particular
in the context of project work, final papers or internships. 

We are looking for an enthusiastic person with an impressive academic
background, strong research skills and a track record in international
publications. 

Relevant academic and teaching experience in subjects relevant to the topic
including:
 - German as a Foreign Language, German as a Language for Specific Purposes
and German in the Academic Discourse with reference to business communication,
applied linguistics, contrastive linguistics, multilingual foreign language
didactics and intercultural communication
 - Several years of proven teaching experience in the fields mentioned above,
preferably also in an international context
 - International project experience and networking skills, experience in the
development of double degree programmes and the acquisition of third-party
funds. You will work with colleagues on the design and write-up of new project
proposals
 - Curriculum development of academic programmes

You should meet the employment requirements, according to § 58 SächsHSFG. It
is an essential requirement that the candidate has at least five years of
professional experience, of which at least three years were acquired outside
the university sector.

Please apply via post or email (see below). We look forward to receiving your
application which will consist of a letter of motivation, curriculum vitae,
academic career, relevant certificates and proof of qualifications, teaching
record, results of teaching evaluations, track record of academic
publications, overview of lectures and list of third-party funds raised.
Please submit a written outline of your ideas for future teaching and applied
research (1 to 2 pages each). Please submit copies. Please quote reference
