Description:

The Faculty of English Language and Literature and Worcester College

The Professor will promote the study of English language and

subject in the wider academic community and beyond. This post will
help the Faculty to engage with current developments in research in
language and communication, broadly conceived. We are seeking
applications from scholars working on any aspect of English language
and communication. We also hope to appoint a candidate who could
provide leadership for innovation in research in language and
communication studies. Interdisciplinary interests are particularly
welcome, as are applications from candidates who work on other
languages in addition to English.

You should be a scholar of the highest international standing with an
outstanding record of research and publication and the academic
stature and intellectual drive to shape the study of English language
and communication at the University of Oxford for the next generation.
You will be able to demonstrate an ability to teach, guide, and
inspire students at all levels, including the capability and readiness
to lead and oversee the Faculty’s teaching on English Language topics.
You will possess the capacity and willingness to advise and mentor
early career researchers and other colleagues; and have the ability to
attract funding and manage funded projects. You will also have a
demonstrated aptitude and readiness to undertake senior leadership
duties and to play a role in the formation of academic strategy.

The closing date for applications is 12:00 noon UK time on Monday 13
January 2025. Interviews are expected to be held in Oxford on 3 and 4
March 2025.

Informal enquiries are welcome and may be made in strict confidence to
Professor Simon Horobin, Chair of the English Faculty Board
(chair at ell.ox.ac.uk).
