Job Title: Lecturer in Linguistics/Applied Linguistics
Job Rank: Lecturer

Description:

The University of the South Pacific (USP) is jointly owned by 12
member countries: Cook Islands, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands,
Nauru, Niue, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu and
Vanuatu. The University is seeking to appoint a motivated, experienced
and talented individual who can make significant contributions to
research and teaching in Pacific Linguistics or Applied Linguistics.
Applicants must have a sufficient background in general Linguistics to
be able to teach introductory courses in phonetics/phonology,
morphology and syntax, as well as expertise and experience in one or
more of the following fields: language documentation; description of
Austronesian languages; corpus linguistics; language technology;
multilingual education; second language learning and teaching. Ability
to teach and supervise graduate research in one or more of these areas
is essential, and experience conducting fieldwork in the region will
be a distinct advantage.

The successful applicant will be an active member of the school’s
research culture, and will contribute to course development and
supervision at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The
applicant should be prepared to undertake administrative duties
commensurate with their position, and to engage with relevant
organisations outside the university. The successful applicant will be
located at the Laucala Campus in Fiji, although opportunities may
arise for delivery of short-term flexi-schools at other campuses in
the region. The appointee must have research publications that meet
the University’s Quality of Research criteria at the appropriate
academic level.

To be considered for this position, applicants must have:

 • PhD in Linguistics or Applied Linguistics with relevant tertiary
teaching and/or research experience;
 • Sufficient background in general Linguistics (evidenced by at least
a first degree in the field) to teach introductory courses in
phonetics/phonology, morphology, syntax and sociolinguistics;
 • Expertise and experience in one or more of the following fields
(evidenced by the focus of the PhD and/or subsequent research):
language documentation; description of Austronesian languages; corpus
linguistics; language technology; multilingual education; second
language learning and teaching;
 • Research experience within the Pacific region, or a context with
comparable features that will enable a candidate to demonstrate how
they can apply their expertise in this region;
 • Ability to work well with others within both academic and
non-academic contexts.

The position is available for a term of 5 years and may be renewed by
mutual agreement, subject to successful performance outcomes.
