Description:

The School of English is seeking to appoint a full time, permanent Assistant
Professor in Applied Linguistics from 1 September 2021.  Initially based for
the first four years with Horizon (www.horizon.ac.uk), a Research Institute at
the University of Nottingham, the Assistant Professor will be engaged in
Digital Economy Research.  The post is aimed at supporting an early career
researcher transitioning into a permanent academic post within the School of
English.  The role holder will be able to focus on research, gradually
transitioning to a typical Assistant Professor work pattern over four years. 
There will be a carefully managed staged contribution to the School’s
undergraduate and postgraduate teaching programme, and assistance with
administration in the School.

The Assistant Professor will undertake innovative, original research, manage
and support members of the Horizon team in their research activities and take
on other related duties, under the guidance of the Horizon Director. 

Horizon was established in 2009 to explore the potential of ubiquitous and
context-aware computing to enhance our growing digital economy. It draws
together multiple research teams from a broad range of disciplines from across
Nottingham and from external industrial, as well as other academic partners,
to investigate how digital technology may enhance the way we live, work, play
and travel in the future. 

Applications are invited from candidates with a specialism in Digital Second
Language Acquisition, i.e. focusing on digital products and processes that
underlie second language acquisition of English with expertise in two or more
of the following areas: instructed second language acquisition theories; TESOL
language teaching methodology; individual differences of the language learner;
second language vocabulary acquisition; second language testing and ELT
materials development. 

Candidates should have a PhD (or equivalent) in an area relevant to Applied
Linguistics.  Evidence of the ability to teach at university level is
essential. Significant relevant postdoctoral research experience, as well as
interdisciplinary research and the ability to teach and supervise at
undergraduate and postgraduate level are also essential.   

Further information about the School of English is available at:
http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/english 

This is a full time, permanent position. Job share arrangements may be
considered. 

The interview process will include a presentation of research and a formal
interview held online using MS-Teams.

The University of Nottingham strongly endorses Athena SWAN principles, with
commitment from all levels of the organisation to address gender equality.  It
is our mission to ensure equal opportunity, best working practices and fair
policies for all. 

Our staff body is currently under-represented in terms of Black, Asian and
minority ethnic members, and so we would particularly welcome applicants from
these backgrounds. 

Informal enquiries may be addressed to Professor Svenja Adolphs, at the
contact information below.
