Theoretical Phonology
The position is aimed to complement our already-existing strengths in closely related areas, including the acquisition of phonology, computational phonology, historical phonology, phonological dialectology, the phonology of English, laboratory phonology, phonetics and sociophonetics. The successful candidate will bring a focus in synchronic phonological theory and will offer courses at both UG and MSc level and will be expected to supervise and recruit PhD students.


Sociolinguistics
Current strengths in the department related to sociolinguistics include sociophonetics, language variation and change, language and identity, language and politics, language attitudes, applied linguistics and English dialectology. The department is interested in building on its existing strengths and in expanding the range of research areas that are currently taught and researched. Applicants are encouraged to indicate in their covering letter how their research programme would add to these current areas of focus. Experience in research with a quantitative orientation, and the ability to teach the use of statistics in research in the language sciences, will be a plus. The successful candidate will offer courses at both UG and MSc level and will be expected to supervise and recruit PhD students.
