Job Title: Lord Kelvin Adam Smith Research Fellow in the Future of Scots
Job Rank: Researcher

Specialty Areas: Applied Linguistics; Language Acquisition; Language Documentation; Sociolinguistics; Language Policy and Planning

Required Language(s): Scots (sco)

Description:

As a world leader in research on the languages of Scotland, the University of
Glasgow seeks to appoint the Lord Kelvin and Adam Smith Research Fellow in the
Future of Scots, recognising the importance of this language to numerous
communities across Scotland and abroad. This is a 5-year full-time fully
funded research post at Grade 7 or 8, depending on the candidate's track
record.

We are looking for scholars working on minority languages who are well placed
to apply their findings in the context of the Scots language to address the
linguistic status, acquisition and corpus planning for Scots, as well as
issues faced by Scots-speaking communities, such as the perception of self and
one’s place in society. The candidate is expected to design and carry out an
ambitious research programme in the area of language policy and planning for
Scots, engaging with stakeholders, including policy makers, and producing high
quality research and knowledge exchange outputs. 

The candidate should have an excellent track record in research and outreach
activities, and should be able to present evidence of having drawn links
between the wider society, policy makers, and academia in the context of
minority and under-supported languages. The Fellow will be based in the School
of Critical Studies in English Language & Linguistics, which is a department
with particular strengths in modern and historical Scots.

To apply, please see the application link provided below.
