The Department is particularly interested in applicants whose research has a
strong grounding in linguistic theory and who employ conventional and/or

Applicants whose research crosses multiple areas of linguistics and cognate
areas are especially welcome. Research strength in the second language
acquisition of Modern Languages will be a definite advantage.

Applicants should have:
- a PhD degree in linguistics; 
- a strong commitment to effective teaching; and
- a record of excellence in research in the relevant field consistent with
rank and history of employment.

The primary medium of instruction of the Department is English, for both
undergraduate and postgraduate classes. The Department collaborates closely
with other departments and research units across the University, and is
equipped with state-of-the-art research facilities, including sound chambers,
eye trackers, and EEG systems.

The appointee is expected to:
- teach undergraduate and postgraduate linguistics courses; 
- supervise projects and theses of undergraduate, MA, MPhil and PhD students; 
- conduct programmatic research in his/her areas of expertise, with external
funding; and 
- undertake administrative duties.

Appointment will normally be made on contract basis for up to three years
initially commencing August 2018 or January 2019, which, subject to mutual
agreement, may lead to longer-term appointment or substantiation later.
