Subject: English; Sociolinguistics: Professor, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany

 
University or Organization: University of Duisburg-Essen 
Department: Anglophone Studies
Job Location: Essen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany 
Web Address: https://www.uni-due.de/anglistik/
Job Title: Junior Professor (Tenure Track)
Job Rank: Professor

Specialty Areas: Sociolinguistics; Semiotics; Linguistic Landscapes; Language Policy

Required Language(s): English (eng)

Description:

Junior Professor in “Urban Semiotics and Semantics”  (Salary Class Group W1
LBesO W – with Tenure Track as per W2)

The post is situated at the interface of linguistics and interdisciplinary
urban research (urban cultural studies, media studies, etc.) at the Institute
of Anglophone Studies. The applicant’s expertise and research interests should
focus on linguistic landscape analysis, on linguistic hybridisation, language
policy or on the contested transmission of cultural or symbolic systems in
urban spaces. The candidate should have strong methodological skills and we
are particularly interested in applications from candidates who have a proven
record of research based on interdisciplinary methodology, such as the
integration of linguistic analyses with media and/or geographical data or with
geographical information systems (GIS). The research activity of the ideal
candidate focuses on processes of production, multiplication and reception of
symbolic resources in urban spaces. We welcome applications from candidates
whose research interests include the analysis of multilingualism, migration
and/or linguistic integration. A research focus on North America is desirable
but not essential. 

The position is embedded in an interdisciplinary research environment within
the University of Duisburg-Essen as well as the University Alliance Ruhr. The
candidate is expected to conduct high quality research, to contribute to
ongoing research and to participate in applications for third party funding
within the context of cross-faculty initiatives such as the Joint Center Urban
Systems, the competence field “Metropolitan Research” in the University
Alliance Ruhr, as well as the interdisciplinary center for research on
integration and migration (InZentIM). 

Essential Criteria: 
A first degree in English linguistics and a PhD in (applied) linguistics,
cultural studies, media studies, human geography or other relevant
disciplines. Demonstrated experience and commitment to fieldwork and to the
analysis of rich interdisciplinary data-sets from urban/metropolitan areas in
the English-speaking world. The applicant is expected to demonstrate
competence in German at C1 level within two years after starting the post.
Publications in the field of expertise in peer-reviewed journals are expected,
especially in leading international journals. Experience in the procurement of
competitive third-party funding, involvement in international research and
international experience are desirable. Leadership experience in research is
beneficial. 

The University of Duisburg-Essen places great emphasis on excellence in
teaching. Candidates must present their teaching concepts, showing their
relevance to the research profile of the University of Duisburg-Essen.
Applicants must show aptitude for participation in academic
self-administration. Teaching requirements currently are 4 hours of teaching
during the first, and 5 hours of teaching during the second employment stage
of the Junior Professorship. 

Applications with the usual documents (CV, list of publications, documentation
of academic and professional development, copies of relevant documents and
certificates, exposé of the applicant’s research profile with reference to its
relevance for the University of Duisburg-Essen, a list of successful external
grant applications and of courses taught and a teaching philosophy, an
enumeration of experience in academic self-administration) should be sent by
October 7th, 2019 to the Dean of the Faculty of Humanities, Prof. Dr. Dirk
Hartmann at the application email provided below.
