Description:

The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences/Department of Language, Literature and
Intercultural Studies invites applications to a doctoral studentship in
English linguistics. The doctoral thesis project is to be carried out in a
field of English linguistics that has relevance to the activities of the
English section at Karlstad University. Theoretical as well as applied thesis
topics are possible.

The doctoral study programme comprises 240 higher education credits, including
the doctoral thesis. Doctoral students primarily pursue their own studies but
may be required to perform teaching or administrative duties to a maximum of
20% per cent of a full-time position. Doctoral students are expected to be
involved in the daily activities in the department.

Eligibility and Assessment Criteria

Applicants to doctoral studies must meet the general admission requirements as
well as the specific eligibility requirements and be judged to have the
ability otherwise required to pursue the programme successfully.

A person who has earned a Master’s degree of at least 240 higher education
credits of which at least 60 higher education credits are studies at Master’s
level, or who in some other way in the country or abroad has acquired largely
equivalent knowledge has general eligibility for admission.

Specific eligibility requirements are at least 30 higher education credits in
English language and literature at Master’s level, including an independent
degree project 15 higher education credits. The Master level degree project
may be related to other fields than English linguistics, but normally it is
easier for an applicant to demonstrate ability to be successful in a given
field if the submitted Master degree project is in the same field as the
proposed research specialisation. A person who has acquired equivalent
knowledge abroad also has specific eligibility.

Applicants are assessed and ranked on the basis of their previous studies,
with special emphasis on the quality of their submitted independent
research-related works, especially at Master level, and their command of
English in speech and writing.

Admission Procedure

Admission is based on individual assessment of the applicant’s capacity to
successfully complete a programme at doctoral level. 

Place of employment: Karlstad, Sweden

Application

Application should be made electronically and include: 

- CV (with certified copies of degree certificates, etc.)

papers, such as scholarly articles or book chapters demonstrating the

- Account of practical experiences and employments of relevance to the
position
- Personal letter (1,000 words) with description of background, why the
position is of interest and attitude to pursuing doctoral studies
- A research proposal (1,000 words) with an account of how the proposed

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.
