University or Organization: University of Amsterdam 
Department: Faculty of Humanities
Job Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands 
Web Address: http://www.hum.uva.nl
Job Rank: Lecturer/PhD candidate  

Specialty Areas: General Linguistics 

Required Language(s): Swedish (swe)

Description:

The Faculty of Humanities of the University of Amsterdam invites 
applications for the position of
Lecturer/PhD candidate in Scandinavian linguistics (especially Swedish), 1.0 
FTE (38 hrs) for a period of five years.
vacancy number W11-174

The position of lecturer/PhD candidate is a temporary job that is composed of 
40 per cent teaching duties and 60 per cent research duties, including the 
preparation and writing of a PhD thesis that must be completed within five 
years. The duties of the lecturer/PhD candidate consist of teaching, 
conducting PhD research, writing a PhD thesis and obtaining a doctorate. The 
lecturer job description details the teaching duties, while the PhD candidate 
job description details the PhD research duties. Since different salary scales 
and different job performance standards apply, there shall be two separate 
appointments for reasons of legal status.

Together with the other new lecturers you will participate in a comprehensive 
introductory programme. You will be supervised closely during the first year 
of your appointment. Additional didactical training is also part of the 
appointment. Based on the candidate's educational portfolio, previously 
acquired competences will be taken into consideration. The Faculty of 
Humanities offers you the opportunity to collaborate with leading researchers 
at research institutes that - partly as a result of their multidisciplinary 
approach - are world-renowned. Moreover, you will be teaching in a dynamic 
context in which new educational methods are being developed.

We are looking for a candidate with a clear aptitude for the domain of 
Swedish linguistics, especially syntax. The candidate must have a (near-) 
native command of the Swedish language, and a clear interest in language 
acquisition because a substantial part of the teaching load will be within that 
field. Furthermore, the candidate should have demonstrable teaching and 
research skills.

Candidates must submit a detailed PhD proposal according to the guidelines 
that can be found on the ACLC website (see below) on a relevant subject in 
the field of Scandinavian linguistics. They may contact the ACLC director, 
Prof dr P.C. Hengeveld (p.c.hengeveld at uva.nl) to find a potential supervisor 
that may assist them in the elaboration of this proposal. The proposal will be 
evaluated with respect to viability, general scholarly interest, relevance for 
the current ACLC and Departmental research target areas, e.g.: The 
Language Blueprint and Learnability. Information about the research targets of 
the ACLC and about the research groups working under the auspices of the 
ACLC can be obtained from the ACLC website, under Research.

It is of the utmost importance that you check the ACLC website 
(http://www.hum.uva.nl/aclc/ under Vacancies) for further information.
