===========================
JOB 1: Lecturer in Language Acquisition and Sociolinguistics

Department: School of Languages, Linguistics & Film
Salary: £39,351-£41,553 per annum (Grade 5)
Reference: QMUL6863
Closing date: 15 December 2015
Interviews: 22 and 23 February 2016

The School intends to appoint a Lecturer in linguistics with a focus on Language Acquisition and Sociolinguistics. This appointment contributes to the creation of a language acquisition team at QMUL, and will address the interface between sociolinguistics and theoretical aspects of language acquisition. Relevant areas of expertise include, but are not limited to, language socialization, acquisition of sociolinguistic variation, or sociolinguistic dimensions of bilingual or heritage language acquisition. We plan to make a future appointment in the field of grammatical acquisition. Preference will be given to candidates who are capable of working collaboratively across the area of acquisition.

The Department of Linguistics was ranked first among UK linguistics departments in the last two national research assessment exercises: REF 2014 and RAE 2008. Present research strengths of the department are within the areas of sociolinguistics (variation and change, sociophonetics, media linguistics, discourse and society); syntax and semantics and their interface; and neuro/psycholinguistic perspectives on the above. 

We recommend that you enclose 1-2 representative articles with your application and/or provide us with a web link to access a sample of your work online.
