Job Title: Tenure-track position in Sociolinguistics

Description:

The Department of Translation and Language Sciences is seeking to fill
a faculty position in the area of Sociolinguistics. This is a regular
faculty appointment. Duties include research and knowledge transfer,
teaching, and administrative service.

We seek to hire a researcher with a PhD in Linguistics or allied field
who is establishing, or will have established, a track record of
high-quality research in sociolinguistics and who is committed to
excellence in teaching and supervision. We particularly welcome
applications from scholars whose research and teaching interests
include experimental or computational methods for sociolinguistics
which will establish new connections with other research areas in the
Department including computational linguistics, corpus studies,
language variation, multi/bilingualism, language contact, language
attitudes, or discourse analysis. Ideally, the candidate will be
familiar with and/or work on the specific sociolinguistic situation of
Catalonia or related/similar contexts.

We expect the candidate to have skills for transferring research
outcomes to the academic community as well as society at large.

While pursuing their own research agenda, the candidate is expected to
strengthen the Department’s research priorities and to be able to
engage in interdisciplinary collaboration with research groups in the
Department and, more broadly, the Catalan research ecosystem. They
should have a clear vision on how to apply for funding, with an
ambitious but realistic plan for the next five years.

Applicants must demonstrate capacity to teach at higher education
levels, evidence of pedagogical skills, and a keen interest in
teaching innovation. The appointee will teach between 120 and 180
classroom hours annually in undergraduate and graduate courses,
including final project supervision (undergraduate, master’s and PhD
dissertations). Specifically, they will be expected to coordinate
teams of co-teachers as well as teach in the module of Language and
Society in the BA degrees offered by the School of Translation and
Language Sciences and in the master’s degrees of the Department
(Master’s in Discourse Studies and Master’s in Theoretical and Applied
Linguistics).

Priority will be given to candidates who provide evidence of capacity
for cutting-edge research and use of state-of-the-art methods,
independent of the total number of years of experience. Merits will be
assessed in proportion to the number of years since the start of the
PhD.

Language requirement: Applicants must be able to teach in either
Spanish or Catalan at the start of their contract. New faculty are
expected to attain a C1 level in Catalan (Common European Framework of
Reference) within two-years of being hired.

The standard duration of the contract is 5 years; during the 4th year
the Tenure-track lecturer will undergo performance evaluation in all
areas, including their commitment to the Department’s goals and needs.
If performance evaluation is successful, the University will issue a
call for a permanent, tenured position.

The selection process will consist of two stages. In stage one, the
selection panel will evaluate the applicants’ merits based on the
documentation provided, as well as the reference letters, and will
issue a short list. In stage two, the shortlisted candidates will be
invited for an interview with the panel and they will be asked to give
a research and a teaching seminar open to all faculty members of the
Department.
