Job: Professor in Applied Linguistics at Swansea University (UK)
To deliver its ambition to be one of the UK's 'top 20' universities, Swansea University seeks a Professor of Applied Linguistics with proven excellence in research.  This post is located in the Department of English Language and Applied Linguistics within the College of Arts and Humanities.
This post requires a scholar with extensive academic experience and an established international reputation or equivalent in terms of reach, significance and impact in Applied Linguistics. The College will consider exceptionally qualified candidates in any area of Applied Linguistics but especially those with experience and expertise in one or more of the following fields: language testing; second language acquisition; TESOL; corpus linguistics; discourse analysis.  The University is introducing an undergraduate degree in Education and there may be opportunities to contribute to the shaping of this area of our work.
The successful candidate will operate at an international level and publish research in the leading journals of this field and with leading academic publishers. The successful candidate can expect to assume the managerial role of Head of Department. This role requires an ability to manage the work and performance of academic colleagues and to lead innovation in teaching and research in line with latest developments.

Essential Criteria

1. A Higher Degree in Applied Linguistics or a related discipline.
2. A record of research publications that includes at least two 4* and two 3* outputs over the last five years (evidence of leadership or contribution to a 4* REF 2014 impact case study will be taken into account).
3. A record of external research income as Principal Investigator over the last five years that is equivalent to an annual average value in excess of £12k.

5. A record (as first supervisor) of successful supervision to completion of Postgraduate Research students (Swansea would expect a Professor in this field to have supervised the equivalent of at least 2 fte PGRs per annum).
6. The specialist knowledge to lead teaching programmes and the provision of learning support in this field
7. Evidence of successful and innovative teaching or supervision of students as supported by student evaluation scores or other measures
8. Evidence of leadership skills which have influenced decisions at a level beyond immediate teaching and research commitments - for example at the level of College, Faculty or University.
9. Experience of managing and motivating a team.
