[Edling] Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor Positions in Multilingual Education

Fri Sep 8 12:30:15 UTC 2023

Nazarbayev University (NU) is an English-medium university that was established in 2010 for the purpose of becoming a world-class, research intensive university in the Central Asian region. The MA in Multilingual Education program within the NU Graduate School of Education (GSE) began accepting students from Kazakhstan and abroad in 2014 to prepare them for careers in schools and universities that teach in three languages (Kazakh, Russian, English) and to work with students from 130 additional ethnic backgrounds in the country. Our graduates not only pursue careers in teaching; they are also educational entrepreneurs, research assistants on national and international grant-funded projects, and students in Master’s and PhD programs at top universities abroad. Several have solo or co-authored publications in international peer-reviewed journals in the field.
We are looking for individuals to join our team and work alongside us to continue to grow the research capacity and expertise in multilingual education in the country. We invite you to apply if you have a PhD in Bilingual Education, Applied Linguistics, or a closely related field, and teaching and research expertise in one or more of the following areas: Language Policy, Sociolinguistics, Curriculum and Assessment, Plurilingual and Translanguaging Pedagogies, First and Second Language Acquisition, CALL/MALL, and Postcolonial/Decolonizing Theories. Note that you may also be asked to teach courses in other concentrations (Higher Education, Inclusive Education, School Education) and programs (PhD) as well as Research Methods courses. Applicants are not required to have previous research experience in Kazakhstan, but should demonstrate preparedness to conduct research and teaching that will directly impact multilingual education in the country.
Assistant Professor applicants should hold a PhD at the time the position begins in January or August 2024, and have at least one international peer-reviewed publication. 
Associate and Full Professor applicants should have multiple international peer-reviewed publications and demonstrated grant management and student supervision expertise. 
While Kazakhstan labor code does not allow for a tenure-track system, NU offers an initial 3 year contract with opportunities for renewal of 3-5 year periods and promotion. NU also offers a competitive salary plus housing and airfare to one’s home city two times a year for faculty and dependents, multiple research grant funding streams, and partially subsidized education for dependents.
If interested, please submit your CV and cover letter specifying the rank you are interested and your motivation for applying for the position through the NUGSE SmartRecruiters link: https://smrtr.io/gbgk5. The deadline is Friday, September 22, 2023.
If you have any questions about the program, you may ask me (bridget.goodman at nu.edu.kz) or Program Director Michelle Bedeker (michelle.bedeker at nu.edu.kz). If you have any questions about the search process, please direct them to gsehr at nu.edu.kz.
