Description:

Temporary lecturer in English with a specialization in Linguistics

Employment profile

The School of Humanities and Media Studies is seeking to appoint a part-time lecturer in English linguistics with an interest in discourse analysis. The appointment is fixed-term (40-70%) from 2016-01-01 or by agreement, to 2016-06-30, with the possibility of renewal.

With its 15 employees and around 400 full-time students every year, the English subject plays a leading role in Högskolan Dalarna’s strong languages section. The post is based in Falun. 

Duties

The duties of the successful applicant consist of teaching on undergraduate and Masters level in English linguistics, in particular discourse analysis, proficiency courses at undergraduate level, and essay supervision. The applicant would be asked to teach an advanced course in discourse analysis and to supervise and examine BA theses in English linguistics. A large part of the teaching is net-based.

Formal requirements

An applicant is deemed to meet the formal requirements to be employed as a senior lecturer if they have a doctoral degree or the equivalent research competence, or in some other way have demonstrated equivalent skills and pedagogical competence. Pedagogical skill is rated as highly as the other formal requirements. An applicant who does not fulfill the above requirements can be seen to have met them if the specific details of the post allow it or if there are special circumstances (Higher Education Ordinances chap 4, 7 §).

Selection criteria

Selection criteria for employing a lecturer will take into account the skills formally required for such employment. Also, they will take into account administrative and other relevant skills as decided by the university as being relevant for carrying out the duties of the post. Skills in developing and leading the work of personnel at the university will also be taken into account, as well as the ability to cooperate with the community and the ability to inform others about research and development work.

Research and pedagogical skill will have equal weight for this post.

National goals regarding the job market, equality, and society will also be taken into consideration (Higher Education Ordinances chap 4, 15 §).

Other qualifications

Demonstrated experience of teaching is required. Demonstrated ability to cooperate is required since the duties are carried out within different teams of teachers. Essay supervision in English linguistics at undergraduate and Masters level, and experience in teaching language proficiency at undergraduate level are of merit. Experience of net-based teaching is of merit and also skills in Swedish. 

Additional information

Högskolan Dalarna strives for gender balance and increased diversity.
