Description:

At the School of Humanities of the University of Mannheim, the
Department of English is seeking to fill the position of a
Junior Professor (W1) for Interdisciplinary English Studies (m/f/d) at
the earliest possible date.

The successful candidate (any gender) will be able to conduct
interdisciplinary research and teach at the interface of Linguistics
and Literary/Cultural Studies of English. The position of a Junior
Professor strengthens the empirical research profile of the University
of Mannheim and is data-based. The successful candidate will therefore
be able to demonstrate methodological qualifications with a doctoral
thesis or with specialized publications, as used in psycho- or corpus
linguistics, language acquisition research, or empirical/cognitive
literary studies. The ability to connect to main research areas at the
English Department is expected. (Main research areas are Language
Acquisition, Language Change, Language and Cognition, Contemporary
Fiction, Literature and Empathy.)
To strengthen interdisciplinary cooperation between Linguistics and
Literary/Cultural Studies, the research focus of the junior
professorship should be situated at one of the following interfaces:

 - Poetics or Aesthetics and Language Processing
 - Reading and Writing Studies and Literacy
 - Digital Humanities or Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language
Processing

The teaching and examination obligations extend to the degree
programmes B.A. Current English Linguistics and Literary Studies
(CELLS), B.A. and M.A. Culture and Economics/Business Administration:
English/American Studies, M.A. Language and Communication, M.A.
Literature, Media and Culture of Modernity as well as B.Ed. and M.Ed.
English. The junior professorship will contribute to the "Core
Studies" module of the B.A. CELLS programme, which combines
Linguistic, Literary and Cultural Studies topics in the field of
English/American Studies.

Your application should include a personal research statement that
describes your planned work programme in the first 3 years of the
junior professorship (max. 1 page) and the usual documents (curriculum
vitae, research statement, list of publications, list of externally
funded projects, list of courses taught, teaching statement, teaching
evaluations, copies of academic certificates). Please send the
documents as one pdf-file by e-mail (file size: max. 2 MB) before
April 15, 2024, to
