Job Title: Professorial Research Fellow in Corpus Linguistics
Job Rank: Full Professor

Specialty Areas: Text/Corpus Linguistics 

Required Language(s): English (eng)

Description:

The Professorial Fellow will be based in the Department of English Language
and Applied Linguistics, which houses the Centre for Corpus Research. The
department has particular expertise in Cognitive Linguistics, Stylistics,
Discourse Analysis, New Media and English Language Teaching, many of these
areas linked to corpus-based research methods. In appointing a Professorial
Fellow we seek particularly to expand and develop our expertise in corpus
statistics and to permit explorations of innovative quantitative approaches to
corpora. As well as excellence in research we look for leadership for
colleagues and a substantial cohort of Doctoral Researchers in developing new
projects and underpinning current research priorities. The Centre for Corpus
Research provides access to a range of corpora and has a dedicated computer
suite with specialist resources as well as an eye-tracking laboratory.

As a Professorial Research Fellow you will make a strong contribution to the
leadership of your research area in Birmingham. You will be expected to
contribute at least three 4* outputs (world leading in terms of originality
significance and rigour) at the next REF in 2020 or 2021 as well as to bring
in research income substantially above the average for your field of research.
In return you will be appointed as a Professorial Research Fellow with a
start-up fund. You will have dedicated protected research time for a period of
3 years after which you will move to a Chair position within the University of
Birmingham.

It is intended that Professorial Research Fellows will enhance the
University’s existing academic strengths and contribute to the growing culture
of collaboration and interdisciplinarity that exists at the University.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and 
as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation, 
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal 
Tax number is 45-4211155. These 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

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

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.
