Description:

We are looking for a colleague whose research focuses empirically on languages
or language families that complement our existing areas of language expertise.
We welcome applications that bring a descriptively rich and typologically
and/or theoretically informed research programme and that meaningfully extend
the range of language data studied in the department. 

The post includes teaching at all levels of the curriculum, contributing to
our thriving undergraduate and MSc programmes, and supervising PhD students.
The successful candidate will also be expected to build collaborations and to
demonstrate potential for attracting external grant funding. An excellent
publication record for your career stage and the potential to make a
significant contribution to the research culture of the School are essential. 

Linguistics and English Language is a thriving group of scholars who work on a
range of topics from theoretical to applied linguistics. 

There are several established research groups: Developmental Linguistics,
English Language, Language in Context, Language Variation and Change, Meaning
and Grammar, and Phonetics and Phonology, as well as three Research Centres
and a Public Engagement Centre: the Centre for Speech Technology Research, the
Centre for Language Evolution, the Angus McIntosh Centre for Historical
Linguistics and Bilingualism Matters. We particularly encourage candidates
with a collaborative approach, who can situate their research in the wider
study of linguistics and other fields.

To apply, please see the application link provided below.
