Department: Language and Literature
Job Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands 
Web Address: http://www.hum.uva.nl/aclc
Job Rank: Full Professor  

Specialty Areas: Language Acquisition 

Description:

The Faculty of Humanities provides education and conducts research with 
a strong international profile in a large number of disciplines in the field of 
language and culture. Located in the heart of Amsterdam, the Faculty 
maintains close ties with many cultural institutes in the capital city. There are 
almost 1,000 employees affiliated with the Faculty, which has about 8,000 
students.

The Faculty of Humanities consists of six departments: History, 
Archaeology and Area Studies; Art, Religion and Cultural Sciences; Media 
Studies; Dutch Studies; Language and Literature; and Philosophy. Each 
department is made up of work pools comprising one or more professors 
and a number of other academic staff working in the relevant field.
The Language and Literature department is made up of eight work pools, 
which currently employ a total of over 75 fte.

The Language and Literature department has a vacancy for a:

Professor of Language Acquisition
1.0 FTE
vacancy number W11-218

The chairs of Second Language Acquisition (prof. J.H. Hulstijn) and 
Psycholinguistics and Language Pathology (prof. A.E. Baker) will be 
merged into one new chair of Language Acquisition, following 
developments in the field.

Tasks:
The chair in Language Acquisition comprises teaching and research in the 
area of language acquisition in a multilingual context, with a potential 
specialization in second language acquisition, early child bilingualism, 
specific language impairment in a multilingual context, and related areas.
The study programme is mainly centred around Bachelor's and Master's 
programmes on specific languages offered by the faculty, as well as the 
programme in general linguistics. The professor will also participate in 
research Master programmes and other overarching curricular subjects that 
are not related to any particular language (for the curriculum, please see 
the UvA's digital course catalogue: http://www.studiegids.uva.nl). The 
Faculty's BA programmes are taught within the College of Humanities, 
while MA and doctorate programmes are administered within the Graduate 
School for Humanities.

Research focuses on the study of Language Acquisition and is conducted 
at Amsterdam Center for Language and Communication (ACLC). In 
defining its research programme for the period 2009-2012, the Faculty has 
identified three research priority areas: Cultural Heritage and Identities, 
Cultural Transformations and Globalisation, and the interfaculty area of 
Cognitive Modelling and Learning. For further information about the Faculty 
research programme, please see: http://www.hum.uva.nl/onderzoek.

(0)20 525 4664, H.A.vanderLiet at uva.nl.

Appointment:
The initial appointment will be on a temporary basis for a period of no more 
than two years. Subject to satisfactory performance, this will be followed by 
a permanent appointment. The gross salary will normally conform to 
professorial scale 2 (between EUR 4,904 and EUR 7,142 per month 
before tax on a full-time basis in accordance with the salary scale 
established in January 2009). In certain cases, however, different terms of 
employment may be offered.
