Description:

The Department of English Language and Literature at the National University
of Singapore invites applications for a Lecturer appointment on the Educator
Track Scheme. Applicants will be assessed foremost on their suitability for
the Educator Track. Linguists of all research specializations are encouraged
to apply, although departmental teaching needs (in the areas of phonetics,
phonology, functional linguistics, discourse analysis, and pragmatics) may be
used to distinguish between equally qualified candidates. 

The purpose of the Educator Track Scheme is to attract, nurture, and retain
suitably qualified and highly effective faculty members who approach teaching
as a scholarly practice, and who therefore focus on and are passionate about
excellence in teaching as a means of supporting student learning. The initial
appointment will be made on a 2- to 3-year contract, and there is a career
progression path for promotion (Lecturer > Senior Lecturer > Associate
Professor (Educator Track) > Professor). 

Applicants should have a PhD in Linguistics and a strong commitment to
teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The teaching load on the
Educator Track is equivalent to a ‘3:3’ workload, and the successful candidate
will be expected to teach large foundational courses and take on supervisions.
There will also be opportunities to teach advanced courses that reflect a
candidate’s specific interests. Women and members of underrepresented minority
groups are particularly encouraged to apply. 

Applications should be submitted at the application link provided below and
include:
- A brief cover letter highlighting the applicant’s major accomplishments in
teaching and research, and courses that the applicant would be interested in
teaching; 
- A complete curriculum vitae;
- A teaching portfolio (3-5 pages, excluding appendices) providing evidence
that the applicant has a strong potential to contribute to student learning.
Non-exhaustive examples of such evidence include the applicant’s reflection on
his/her educational approach/teaching philosophy (required), information on
courses taught and sample course materials (required), student feedback
(required). 
- A completed Personal Particulars Form
(http://www.nus.edu.sg/careers/potentialhires/applicationprocess/personal-part
iculars-form-academicstaff.doc).
- A completed Personal Data Consent Form
(http://www.nus.edu.sg/careers/files/NUS-Personal-Data-Consent-for-Job-Applica
nts.pdf). 

Applicants should also arrange for three letters of recommendation (including
one from the applicant’s main PhD supervisor) to be submitted via the online
application system. For full consideration, please submit a completed
application, including letters of recommendation, by December 2, 2019. Only
shortlisted candidates will be contacted. 

Enquiries may be directed to the contact information below. Further
information about working at the National University of Singapore is available
