Description:
Position in Translation Studies
The Department of Arabic and Translation Studies at American
University of Sharjah (AUS) invites applications for a faculty
position at the rank of Assistant Professor in Translation Studies, to
begin in Fall 2027, subject to budgetary approval. Applicants should
hold a Ph.D. in Translation Studies, Interpreting Studies, Translation
Technology, Computational Linguistics, or a closely related field.
Strong preference will be given to candidates with teaching and
research (or demonstrably promising) expertise and experience in one
or more of the following areas: artificial intelligence and large
language models in translation and post-editing, computer-assisted
translation, translation management systems, terminology management,
corpus-based translation studies, localization, digital workflows for
professional translation, translation quality assessment, audiovisual
translation, and ethical, pedagogical, and professional implications
of emerging language technologies in/for translation. We expect the
successful applicant to make substantial contributions to the
Department’s developing profile in translation technology,
particularly the MA in Translation (MATra), and to support our
undergraduate courses.  The ability to develop innovative courses,
laboratories, partnerships, or research initiatives at the
intersection of translation, language technologies / engineering, and
the humanities will be a significant advantage.
Successful applicants will have native or near-native proficiency in
Arabic and English. The language of instruction at AUS is English;
however, the ability to teach translation courses in both Arabic and
English is strongly preferred. Evidence of relevant university-level
teaching experience, technological fluency, and familiarity with
Western models of higher education are expected. We seek candidates
with a passion for both teaching and research in relevant areas of
specialization to join our faculty.  UAE nationals are particularly
encouraged to apply.
With their application form, applicants are requested to submit their
CV, three (3) letters of recommendation with complete referees’
contact information, a cover letter outlining their areas of
expertise, a statement of teaching philosophy, a statement of research
interests and agenda, as well as how they fit with the position.
Salary and benefits are highly competitive.
Please submit the required documents in PDF format through
https://acg-apps1.aus.edu/cas/empapp/apply.php?p=ATS-27-01 by November
15, 2026.
Additional information may be requested from candidates during the
screening process of applications.
For inquiries, contact the Department at ATS at aus.edu.
