The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page http://linguistlist.org/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been set 
up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

Department: Faculty of Language, Literature, Culture
Job Location: Giessen, Germany

Job Rank: W3-Professor

Required Language(s): English (eng)

Description:

The Faculty of Language, Literature, Culture invites applications for the
position of a W3-Professor of Applied Linguistics as Director of the Centre
for Competence Development (CCD), as of 1st October 2009.

Reference is made to § 70 section 6 Hessisches Hochschulgesetz (HHG) and
conditions of employment based on § 71 HHG.

We seek candidates who have completed a first-rate Ph.D. degree in
linguistics and have proven their academic excellence in applied
linguistics (including relevant aspects of theoretical linguistics and
empirical methodology), in particular in one or more of the following
research areas: specialized discourse  (e.g. language of academia and
economics), lingua-franca communication and learner language use,
intercultural communication and the use of new technologies and digital
media for teaching and learning foreign languages. The successful
candidate's future research projects should both be integrated with
on-going research activities in the various research centres of the
University of Giessen (in particular the Centre for Media and
Interactivity, but also the Graduate Centre for the Study of Culture and
the Centre for Eastern European Studies) and be relevant to the development
of the curriculum of the new Centre for Competence Development (CCD). The
CCD is a new institution of the University of Giessen with two departments:
a) foreign languages and intercultural competencies, b) key competencies
and employability skills. In the long run, the CCD is also expected to
harbour the career service and coordinate the alumni management of the
University of Giessen. As the successful candidate will also be appointed
as Director of the CCD, previous experience in the area of research and
teaching coordination and management is highly desirable. As a Professor of
Applied Linguistics, the successful candidate will be involved in the
teaching programme of the new Bachelor and Master Programmes (e.g. the
Bachelor/Master programme 'Modern Languages, Cultures and Economics') and
the various study programmes in teacher education.

The Justus-Liebig-University aims to employ more women in academic
research. We therefore particularly encourage female candidates to apply.
The JLU is committed to increase the number of women employed. Applications
from disabled people of equal aptitude will bei favoured.
