Description:

The University of Macau is a leading higher education institution in Macao,

its excellence in teaching, research and community service. The Times Higher

world’s top 300 universities. With the beautiful new campus (20 times larger
than the old one) becoming fully operational, the launch of Asia’s largest
residential college system, the establishment of new faculties, and the
increasing numbers of students and faculty members recruited from around the
world, UM possesses great potential and provides exciting new possibilities
for growth and development.

The Department of English of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities invites
applications for the position of Professor of English Language and Pedagogy.

The Department of English is an expanding and lively scholarly community with
a strong international profile comprising three main fields of interest:
linguistics, literature and translation studies. In addition to its
undergraduate BA programme in English Studies (including both Literature and
Linguistics), the department offers a Minor in Translation and MA programmes
in English Studies and in Translation Studies, as well as PhD supervision
across the range of the department’s expertise. In linguistics the department
has particular strengths in bilingualism, cognitive linguistics, comparative
linguistics, corpus linguistics, discourse analysis of media texts,
sociolinguistics and world Englishes.

Qualifications
The successful candidate will have a PhD in English Language, Applied
Linguistics, or another related area, teaching experience at tertiary
institutions and a track record of quality research publications appropriate
to the rank of Full Professor. Applicants for the position should demonstrate
excellence in teaching and academic supervision, as well as a good record of
research grant applications. Academic specialization is open, but applicants

more appropriate to a candidate’s experience and qualifications.

The selected candidate may assume duty as early as August 2015.

Position and Remuneration
Remuneration and appointment rank offered will be competitive and commensurate
with the successful applicant academic qualifications, current position and
professional experience. The current local maximum income tax rate is 12%, but
