Description:

We are now seeking an assistant professor, associate professor or full
professor in the field of English linguistics.

The position is located in the Unit of Languages in the Faculty of
Information Technology and Communication Sciences. The Unit explores
the intricacies of human interaction and communication in and across
different languages. The research conducted in the Unit focuses on the
functions of language in society and the challenges of cultural and
linguistic diversity. The Degree Programme in Languages provides
students with in-depth expertise in the areas of language, literature
and translation. Students can major in Finnish, Swedish, English,
Russian and German. The English section is the largest section in the
Degree Programme, and we currently offer four specializations at the
MA and PhD level: linguistics, literature, translating and
interpreting as well as technical communication.


JOB DESCRIPTION

We are seeking a highly motivated and accomplished scholar who will
actively and innovatively contribute to research and teaching in the
area of English linguistics. In line with the profile of the
university, research in the Unit of Languages emphasizes societal
aspects of language, culture and literature. The applicant is expected
to demonstrate a broad competence in English linguistics in research
and teaching. Their publications are expected to include research in
areas focusing on the connections between language and society (e.g.
sociolinguistics, pragmatics, multilingualism). Along with expertise
in corpus linguistics and quantitative methods, expertise in
cutting-edge data-driven research methods in digital linguistics
(computational approaches, Big Data) is desirable; we also warmly
welcome other innovative methodological approaches to language data.
We appreciate a strong research focus on digital English and language
change in digital environments. The applicant should have experience
in teaching and thesis supervision at the MA (and for associate/full
professors also PhD) level.

The Faculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences
offers a unique multidisciplinary environment. Research groups working
on areas such as robotics, virtual and augmented reality, multimodal
genres (games, visual journalism, audio description etc.), usability
and accessibility issues create a vibrant community for
interdisciplinary collaboration. We welcome applicants who offer novel
approaches to linguistic analysis utilizing the unique opportunities
of this multidisciplinary environment.

You are also expected to lead, conduct and develop research-led
teaching, curriculum development and student supervision in the Degree
Programme in Languages, acquire research funding and demonstrate
effective academic leadership engaging with society.

As a professor of English linguistics, you will also be invited to
participate in research and teaching in the joint profile areas of the
Unit of Languages and the Degree Programme in Languages (Multilingual
practices and multimodality in interaction; Accessibility, usability,
and well-being; Spatial and mobile societies.)
