Current strengths in the department related to sociolinguistics include

The department is interested in building on its existing strengths and in
expanding the range of research areas that are currently taught and

their research programme would add to these current areas of focus.

Experience in research with a qualitative orientation will be a plus. The

research culture of the School is essential. The successful candidate will

There is an opportunity for appointment at senior lecturer level, for which
