Subject: English; Language Acquisition; Linguistic Theories: Associate Professor, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway

 
University or Organization: Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) 
Department: Department of Language and Literature
Job Location: Trondheim, Norway 
Web Address: https://www.ntnu.edu/isl
Job Title: Associate professor in English linguistics and language acquisition
Job Rank: Associate Professor

Specialty Areas: Language Acquisition; Linguistic Theories 

Required Language(s): English (eng)

Description:

We have a vacancy for a full-time, permanent position as Associate Professor
in English linguistics and language acquisition at the Department of Language
and Literature. The position encompasses research, teaching, administration,
and outreach. The main area of the position is language acquisition in bi- and
multilingual speakers (including L2, Ln) where English is one of the
languages. Applicants should pursue research from an experimental and formal
perspective.

The English section of the Department of Language and Literature currently has
19 permanent employees within three broad areas of specialization –
linguistics, literature, and cultural studies – of which 10 are permanent
staff in linguistics. The linguistics group is actively engaged in individual
and collaborative research projects within theoretical linguistics, psycho-
and neurolinguistics, first and second/third language acquisition,
sociolinguistics, and translation studies, including a number of active
research groups and laboratories. The section offers bachelor’s, master’s and
PhD education within a broad spectrum of courses in campus-based programs, and
offers continuing education credits in an active distance program. Several MA
courses are co-taught with the Nordic, German, and French sections.

The position will be part of the AcqVA research group, which is a joint
research group between NTNU and UiT The Arctic University of Norway (Tromsø).
The NTNU part of AcqVA includes 7 permanent members of staff, 5 adjunct
professors, 3 postdocs, and 9 PhD candidates. The group investigates
variation, acquisition, and attrition from a formal grammar perspective, and
includes faculty from multiple sections: English, French, German, and Nordic.

It is expected that the employee will:
- Pursue cutting-edge research within their field of specialization and
publish regularly in respected international outlets.
- Teach and supervise in relevant courses at all levels, in BA/MA courses, the
teacher training program, the MPhil in English Linguistics and Language
Acquisition, and our distance and continuing education program Take Credit.
The employee will teach courses and supervise theses in language acquisition
and will also be required to teach or contribute to teaching in general
English linguistics and proficiency. The department puts weight on
research-based teaching, but the employee must potentially be prepared to also
teach and supervise outside of his/her research area, especially at the
first-year undergraduate level.
- Contribute actively to student recruitment and program quality development
- Actively work to establish externally funded research projects
- Take on administrative duties and, potentially, leadership roles in the
department

The language of teaching and supervision for this position is English.
Administration in the department is predominantly conducted in Norwegian.
