Description:

The Theoretical and Applied Linguistics Section (TAL) of the Faculty
of Modern and Medieval Languages and Linguistics at the University of
Cambridge (MMLL) is seeking to appoint a full-time University
Assistant Professor in Sociolinguistics from 1 September 2025.

We invite applications from candidates who have a record, or clear
potential, for outstanding, broadly sociolinguistic research using
science-based methodologies (e.g., data science) and who have a strong
formal linguistics background (phonology, morphology, syntax). The
appointee will take an essentially cross-disciplinary approach to
sociolinguistic issues such as language variation and contact,
consistent with the ethos of TAL and its central role within the
broader Language Sciences network within Cambridge.

The appointee will be required to contribute to the delivery of a
distinctive intellectual program in Linguistics and the Language
Sciences at the Master's and PhD levels in their field of expertise,
as well as to contribute to undergraduate teaching and small group
supervision. The role also includes an active contribution to the
administration of the activities of TAL and the Faculty.

We welcome applicants with a record of excellence in research,
commensurate with their career stage, and a strong trajectory.
Candidates will have relevant teaching experience, have successfully
completed a PhD in a relevant field by the start date for the post and
be able to demonstrate active, collegial engagement in research,
teaching and outreach in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics. A fluent
or near-fluent command of English is essential.

For your application to be considered please ensure that you upload
the following documents to your online application:

- A covering letter
- Your Curriculum Vitae, including a full list of publications
- An article-length example of your written work (max 8,000 words,
e.g., a previous publication or thesis chapter)
- Three references are required, and applicants should ask their
referees to send their reports to references at mmll.cam.ac.uk by the
closing date.

Prospective candidates are welcome to seek more information beyond the
Further Particulars by contacting Professor John Williams, Director of
the Linguistics Section, at jnw12 at cam.ac.uk. On questions of
procedure, please contact the School HR team on
MMLLPersonnel at admin.cam.ac.uk.
