Subject: Phonetics; Sociolinguistics: Assistant Professor Position in Sociophonetics, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Netherlands

University or Organization: University of Amsterdam 
Department: Amsterdam Center for Language and Communication
Job Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands 
Web Address: https://aclc.uva.nl
Job Title: Assistant Professor Position in Sociophonetics
Job Rank: Assistant Professor

Specialty Areas: Phonetics; Sociolinguistics 

Description:

Your research will mainly focus on the sociophonetic and sociophonological
aspects of language contact and change in multilingual ecologies, and the
implications for the study of human language, cognition, and communication. We
have a special interest in scholars working on less familiar languages and
communities. Your research will be part of the Amsterdam Center for Language
and Communication (ACLC), https://aclc.uva.nl/. The ACLC prioritises diversity
(taken in a holistic sense, e.g., ethnicity, social and/or linguistic
background, gender, sexuality) and is committed to creating an inclusive
research environment. We are seeking a talented researcher and teacher who can
communicate well with the different ACLC research groups, develop
interdisciplinary projects, and contribute to research-based teaching. The
ACLC is one of the five research schools of the Amsterdam Institute for
Humanities Research.

You will teach in a dynamic context with ample opportunities for the
development of innovative teaching methods. You will contribute to teaching
and developing courses involving phonetics, phonology, sociolinguistics,
research methods or statistics, and other relevant courses that are part of
the BA Linguistics, the BSc Cognition, Language & Communication, the MA
Language & Society, the Research MA Linguistics & Communication, or any other
relevant programme. These programmes adopt an interdisciplinary approach and
you are expected to be open to fields that might not be directly related to
your research focus (e.g., foreign languages teaching and cultural
linguistics). We welcome your commitment to the development of a stimulating
and collaborative educational atmosphere for teachers and students alike.

We expect you to engage in:
 - Designing and conducting independent research on sociophonetics and
sociophonology resulting in academic publications in peer-reviewed
international journals and/or books;
 - Pursuing external funding for research, notably funding from research
councils, national as well as European or international;
 - Contributing to and developing (inter)national research networks and
collaborative research initiatives;
 - Contributing to the research activities of the Amsterdam Center for
Language and Communication (ACLC), and perhaps the Institute of Logic,
Language, and Computation (ILLC, https://www.illc.uva.nl/);
 - Developing, coordinating and teaching courses in our international Bachelor
and Master programmes in the areas of phonetics, phonology, sociolinguistics
and methodology;
 - Supervising Bachelor and Master theses and tutoring students;
co-supervising PhD theses; 
 - Taking part in committees and working groups, and carrying out departmental
administrative tasks as directed.

What can we offer you: 
We offer permanent employment upon a satisfactory evaluation following a
temporary employment contract of a maximum of 18 months with a probationary
period of two months. If you already have an employment contract with the UvA,
we offer permanent employment upon a satisfactory evaluation following a
temporary employment contract of a maximum of 12 months. The employment is for
38 hours per week. Preferred starting date is 1 October 2022. 

The gross monthly salary, based on 38 hours per week and relevant experience,
ranges between € 3,974 to € 6,181.

For more information and for applying, see the application link below. If you
feel the profile fits you, and you are interested in the job, we look forward
to receiving your application. You can apply online. We will accept
applications until 21 August 2022.

Applications (addressed to the dean of the faculty, Prof. M. de Goede),
including a letter of motivation, a detailed CV, a list of publications and
the names and email addresses of two references who can provide letters of
recommendation, should be submitted in one pdf.

Application Deadline: 21-Aug-2022
