Description:

The University of Macau (UM) is an internationalized public comprehensive

The Department of English of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities (FAH) invites

Linguistics. The successful candidate should have training in English studies
and general linguistics, preferably with expertise in one or more of the
following fields: 
 - language contact (e.g., bilingualism, multilingualism, contact linguistics,
etc.); 
 - sociolinguistics; and/or 
 - quantitative and computational approaches to linguistic data, especially
using electronic corpora.

The Department of English is an established and distinguished multinational,
scholarly community. The Department offers an undergraduate degree in English
Studies (focusing simultaneously on linguistics and literary studies), as well
as elective courses in translation studies. At the graduate level the
Department hosts two MA programmes in (i) English Studies and (ii) Translation
and offers courses in the University-level MSc in Data Science. The Department
offers PhD degrees in either (a) Literary Studies or (b) Linguistics and
research in the PhD programmes engages with a variety of specializations
(e.g., theoretical linguistics, applied linguistics, translation studies,
etc.). FAH is home to both the Centre for Linguistics
(https://linguistics.fah.um.edu.mo/) and the Centre for Studies in
Translation, Interpreting and Cognition (https://cstic.um.edu.mo) with a
state-of-the-art Cognitive Laboratory. The Department also contributes courses
to the General Education programme.

Qualifications: 
The successful candidate should have a PhD in Linguistics or related area,
teaching experience at the tertiary level and a record of research appropriate
to the rank of Associate/Assistant Professor. Applicants should demonstrate

Asian contexts. Candidates with quality publications and teaching experience
in one or more of the preferred fields are especially welcome.

The selected candidate is expected to assume duty in August 2023.
