Description:

The Department of Linguistics and English Language at the University

morphophonology; acquisition of syntax; sentence processing; grammar
change; linguistic fieldwork; computational models of syntax; and
language evolution.

The successful candidate will be expected to have an excellent
publication record for their career stage, and to demonstrate
potential for attracting external grant funding. The potential to make
a significant contribution to the teaching and research culture of the
School is essential. The successful candidate will offer courses at
both undergraduate and MSc level, and will be expected to supervise
and recruit PhD students.

Linguistics at Edinburgh ranks 4th in the world and 2nd in the UK (QS
World University Rankings by Subject 2023).

We have a well-established and large PhD programme, with many of our
PhD graduates going on to successful academic careers. We also offer
seven taught MSc programmes and an MSc by Research. Undergraduate
teaching, which draws on our well-established research strengths,

students who choose to write their undergraduate dissertations with
us.

Linguistics and English Language has close ties with Psychology and
Philosophy, the other two areas within its home School; beyond the
School, the department has links with Edinburgh's renowned Schools of
Education and Informatics.
