Description:
The Division of Linguistics and Multilingual Studies (LMS) at Nanyang
Technological University (NTU), Singapore, invites applications for
tenure-track faculty appointments at the rank of Assistant Professor.
We welcome applications from scholars in any field of linguistics with
an outstanding research record. We particularly welcome candidates
whose research will strengthen and advance LMS’s distinctive focus on
multilingualism in the Asia-Pacific region, including those with
expertise in multilingualism, language diversity, and the languages
and linguistic ecologies of the region. Candidates working on
Southeast Asia are especially encouraged to apply, although
outstanding candidates working across a broad range of geographical
contexts will be considered. The successful candidate will be expected
to contribute to the intellectual environment and research strategy of
LMS, and develop collaborations within and beyond NTU.
LMS offers a vibrant and interdisciplinary environment for the study
of language in its structural, social, cognitive, and technological
dimensions. Singapore serves as our natural laboratory for research
that is grounded in multilingual Asia and globally relevant. LMS is
also internationally recognised for its work on multilingualism,
language diversity, language contact and change, and the interfaces
between language, society, cognition, and technology.
LMS is part of the School of Humanities (SoH), within NTU Singapore’s
College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (CoHASS), where
students and scholars collaborate across fields from philosophy to
design to understand how people in Asia and beyond act in, shape, and
make sense of a technological world. CoHASS aims to be Asia’s leading
centre for innovative, interdisciplinary research and education in the
Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences.
Qualifications and Expectations:
Successful candidates should have:
 - A PhD in Linguistics or a closely related field.
 - A strong, internationally recognized research record, evidenced by
publications and other scholarly outputs of field- or world-leading
quality.
 - A demonstrated commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration and
teaching excellence.
Applicants are invited to submit their applications through the NTU
career portal (https://apply.ap1.interfolio.com/119222).
Please provide the following in your application:
    1) Cover letter;
    2) Curriculum vitae (including records of competitive grants and
graduate supervision, if applicable);
    3) Teaching impact statement;
    4) Research impact statement;
    5) Names and contact details of at least three (3) referees within
