University or Organization: University of Gothenburg 
Job Location: Gothenburg, Sweden 
Web Address: http://www.svenska.gu.se
Job Rank: Full Professor

Specialty Areas: Applied Linguistics; General Linguistics; Language Acquisition; Second Language Research

Required Language(s): Swedish (swe)

Description:

The Department of Swedish language is currently accepting applications for the
position of Professor in Second Language Research. The new professor will lead
and develop research and education within the discipline of second language
studies.

The professor is expected to initiate and lead projects and postgraduate
education in the field of Second Language Research at the department. This
implies not only carrying out one´s own research, but assuming a leadership
role for ongoing and future research in this field at the department. The
position also includes supervision of students on the advanced and
postgraduate level, as well as teaching on all levels. The new professor will
be expected to represent the University in a number of research and
development networks and the position may also entail a certain amount of
administration. The new professor will furthermore be expected to develop
contacts and collaboration within the University and partners outside it. The
professor may for example be called upon to provide consultation and direction
in planning and development of the education of young people and adults in
Swedish as a second language.

The department has a lively research environment, currently hosting several
externally funded projects in the field of second language research. These
projects are in many cases interdisciplinaty and involve national, Nordic and
European partners; a few projects have partners in other parts of the world as
well. The field of Swedish as a second language is one of five selected
research profiles for the department; the other four profiles are lexicology
and lexicography, grammar, text research, and language technology. Several
research projects in Swedish as a second language involve the other
departmental profiles as well.

In 1997, the Institute for Swedish as a second language was established at the
department, a centre for both linguistic and didactic research within the
field of Swedish as a second language. Education at the undergraduate (BA),
advanced (MA) and postgraduate (PhD) level is offered in the discipline of
Swedish as a second language; this has been the case as regards undergraduate
eduction since the 1980s and postgraduate since the late 1990s. The department
also conducts extensive in-service training of teachers of Swedish as a second
language.

Assessment:
For this position, strong emphasis will be placed on documented scientific and
teaching ability, with the greatest priority being given to scientific
ability. As to scientific ability, special consideration will be given to
recent research, as well as to the ability to initiate and conduct research,
to lead research groups, and to successfully conduct graduate training.
Current publications in international journals (including submitted
manuscripts), attention from the research community and proven ability to
obtain external funding are particularly valued. Assessment of teaching
abilities will take account of experience of planning, implementation, and
assessment of teaching, as well as of supervision and examination, in
particular at the advanced and doctoral level. Management skills and
administrative experience, together with experience of co-operation with the
surrounding society - in particular educational institutions and management,
are also of benefit.

If the new professor does not already have a working knowledge of Swedish
(Danish or Norwegian), she/he is expected to learn Swedish so that she/he can
supervise graduate students and participate fully in research and other
departmental activities in the language.
