Description:

Department of Languages and/or Centre for Applied Language Studies at the
University of Jyväskylä, Finland, are currently seeking to recruit staff to
the position of

Associate Professor, Applied Language Studies, 1 - 2 positions (tenure track),
starting January 1st 2017 for a fixed period of five years.

The Associate Professor’s position is allocated to the University of Jyväskylä
profiling area of applied linguistics 'Applied Language Studies for the
Changing Society' funded by the Academy of Finland (see:
https://www.jyu.fi/hum/laitokset/kielet/tutkimus/applied-language-studies-for-
the-changing-society/). 

The profiling area is a joint venture by the Department of Languages and the
Centre for Applied Language Studies in which language is approached as a
dynamic, social and societal phenomenon and as inherent in the processes of
participation, identification and in/exclusion. The profiling area is divided
into three thematic areas: 1) Language learning, teaching and assessment, (2)
Policies and the social structure, and (3) Discourses on language, diversity
and (in)equality. These combine research on language learning, teaching and
assessment; critical sociolinguistics and discourse studies; research on
language and education policies, as well as their theoretical and
methodological development.

The Associate Professor is expected to conduct internationally high quality
research on some of the three above mentioned thematic areas and especially at
their intersections and to advance the research field of applied linguistics
in collaboration with the other researchers in the profiling area.
Multidisciplinary orientation as well as profound and broad methodological
expertise are considered an asset.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
