Description:

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

You will have a completed PhD in Linguistics or English Language, and have an
active and promising research agenda in pragmatics that is firmly embedded in
linguistic theory and connects with other areas of research strength in the
English Language and Linguistics subject group. Expertise in qualitative
approaches to data analysis and interpretation at the level of discourse is
essential. Also essential is experience in teaching pragmatics and qualitative
research methods at undergraduate level as well as an ability and desire to
teach semantics and discourse analysis. 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. 

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.    

Newcastle University is committed to developing a fully inclusive global
University community in which staff and students from all sectors of society
can thrive equally (see the University’s institutional EDI strategy here). The
School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics actively encourages
applications from under-represented groups.
