Description:

The School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics wishes to appoint
an outstanding teacher and scholar as a full-time Lecturer in Phonetics and
Phonology.

You will have a completed PhD in Linguistics or English Language, and have
experience in teaching the phonetics and phonology of English and other
languages at undergraduate level. Proficiency in the collection, analysis and
handling of empirical language data in English and other languages is
essential. Also essential is the ability to teach and research in one or more
of these additional strengths of the Language and Linguistics subject group:
language acquisition and evolution, language and cognition, language variation
and change, syntax. You will have an excellent publication record for your
career stage. You should also be able to demonstrate clear potential for
making a significant contribution to the School’s and Faculty’s collaborative
teaching and research culture, which includes a capacity for academic and
societal impacts.

For further inquiries, please contact Professor Jo Robinson, Head of School of
English Literature, Language and Linguistics (Jo.Robinson2 at newcastle.ac.uk),
or Dr Heike Pichler, Head of the Language and Linguistics subject group
(Heike.Pichler at newcastle.ac.uk).

The School of English Literature, Language & Linguistics (SELLL) currently has
64 members of academic staff (55FT and 9PT) working across the fields of
English Language and Linguistics, English Literature and Creative Writing. 13
Research Associates and Fellows work alongside these staff. Together with our
750 undergraduates and over 200 postgraduates (registered on both taught and
research programmes), we form a thriving and highly motivated intellectual
community, dedicated to excellence and innovation in teaching and research.
Over 80% of our research was deemed ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally
excellent’ in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework, and our teaching was
rated as ‘excellent’ in the last QAA audit.

The Language and Linguistics subject group in SELLL has particular research
and teaching strengths in: linguistic theory; language acquisition, evolution
and development; language and cognition; and language variation and change.
Funded projects over the past few years have addressed issues across these
sub-disciplines, including topical research on language, migration and
identity and work on language learning by immigrant adults. Considerable
funding has also been attracted for research into and the development of a
‘big data’ corpus of North Eastern English. Funding has been won too for
research in language and cognition as well as in formal linguistics, most
recently through a project with colleagues at Cambridge on novel approaches to
parametric variation in syntax. In addition to the wide range of undergraduate
teaching and learning offered by the Language and Linguistics subject group in
SELLL, the group also lead the MA in Linguistics and IPhD in English Language
and Linguistics. We have had considerable success too in supporting PGR
student research via the UKRI funded doctoral training partnerships known as
‘Northern Bridge’ and ‘NINE’. Newcastle University also has a very active
Phonetics and Phonology research group, and a very well-resourced Linguistics
Laboratory supporting experimental and quantitative linguistics research.
