Department: Seminar für Anglistik / English linguistics
Job Location: Siegen, Germany 
Web Address: http://www.uni-siegen.de
Job Rank: Full Professor

Specialty Areas: General Linguistics; Theoretical Approaches; Empirical Studies

Required Language(s): English (eng)

Description:

With its 17,500 students and 1,600 employees, of whom approximately 1,000 are
engaged in scholarly work, the University of Siegen is an innovative
university oriented to interdisciplinary collaboration. The university offers
an excellent environment for teaching and research with its numerous
interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary research projects and broad spectrum
of courses of study ranging from the humanities and social sciences to
economics and to the natural sciences and engineering. The university also
offers various opportunities to allow for a meaningful combination of
professional and family life and, since 2006, has been awarded certification
as a family-friendly educational institution and provides a dual career
service.

At the University’s Faculty I (Philosophische Fakultät), a university chair
position, Universitätsprofessur (salary group W3 BBesO), is currently
available in the English Department/Linguistics.

Applicants must be able to integrate the full spectrum of English linguistics
in accordance with international standards into their scholarly work. The
focus of their research should be within the main areas of systematic
linguistics in English (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics) and
encompass work on both theoretical approaches and empirical studies. Expert
knowledge of an additional branch of linguistics (e.g., language acquisition,
corpus linguistics, pragmatics, theory of language) is advantageous.
Requirements include an excellent command of the English language, experience
abroad, and successful acquisition of external funding.

Teaching and examination duties relate both to B.A. and M.A. programs in
linguistics and to the linguistics-oriented segments of the teacher training
program.

In addition to the basic requirements for civil servants, the prerequisites
also include: a university degree; a significant aptitude for academic
research, as conventionally indicated by the quality of one’s doctorate work;
additional academic work which is to be exclusively and comprehensively
evaluated in the course of the application review procedure; considerable
teaching experience; and documented didactic competence. Additional academic
work is to have been accomplished within the context of an assistant
professorship, by means of post-doctorate qualifications (habilitation), or
through scholarly work at a tertiary institution or a non-university research
institute, or within the context of other academic work.

Applicants are expected to engage in active and constructive cooperation in
the context of the university’s self-administrating committees and
organizations.

The University of Siegen aims to increase the proportion of women involved in
scholarly research and teaching. Applications from female academics with
appropriate qualifications are welcomed. Applications from persons with
disabilities who meet the required qualifications are also welcomed.
Information on the position can be obtained by correspondence through the
contact information below.

Please send your application with the relevant documents (CV, copies of
certificates and references, list of publications, description of research and
teaching experience, list of external funds acquired, certification of
teaching qualifications for tertiary institutions) by 12 June to the dean of
Faculty I and cite the keywords: “English Department / Linguistics".
