The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to engage in non-discriminatory hiring practices. We urge employers not to discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity, nationality, disability, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we have no means of enforcing these standards. Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international employment page at http://linguistlist.org/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been set up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries. To post to LINGUIST, use our convenient web form at http://linguistlist.org/posttolinguist.cfm

Date: 18-Apr-2011 From: Irene Gilsenan Nordin <igndu.se> Subject: English; Applied Linguistics: Professor, Högskolan Dalarna, Sweden E-mail this message to a friend University or Organization: Högskolan Dalarna Department: English Job Location: Dalarna, Sweden Web Address: http://www.du.se/engdept Job Rank: Professor Specialty Areas: Applied Linguistics Required Language(s): English (eng) Description: The Faculty of Humanities and Medias is seeking a full-time professor in English, specialising in Linguistics. The post is full-time with tenure, starting as soon as possible. Duties: The duties involve responsibility for building up a creative research environment in linguistics through planning and leading research and initiating new research projects and applying for external research funding. Teaching and essay supervision at both undergraduate and Masters level are also included. Time will be available for research. Certain administrative and leadership duties can also be included. An important part of the post is the development of research in linguistics related to Högskolan Dalarna's strategic research profile area Culture, Identity and Representation which focuses on the socio-cultural discourses and forms of representation that define who we are and who we can be. The Faculty has the goal of developing a research environment in not only English linguistics but also the linguistics of other languages. A large part of teaching is net-based. It is assumed that the successful applicant will work regularly at Campus Falun during term time. Formal requirements: Both scientific and pedagogical skills are formal requirements to be employed as a professor. Training in teaching at university level or the equivalent is required. Pedagogical skill is rated as highly as the other formal requirements. Selection criteria: Selection criteria will take into account the skills formally required for such employment. Also, they will take into account administrative and other relevant skills. Skills in developing and leading the work of personnel at the university will also be taken into account, as well as the ability to inform others about research and development work. National goals regarding the job market, equality, and society will also be taken into consideration (Higher Education Ordinances chap 4, 15 §). Other qualifications: A documented ability to lead research projects and successfully apply for funding is of particular merit. Proven experience of research leadership, course development and teaching in English linguistics as well as essay supervision are required. We are seeking a flexible applicant who is willing to take initiatives and to cooperate, and who is prepared to take on greater responsibilities and work together with other teachers. Research in applied linguistics, such as multilingualism, sociolinguistics, intercultural communication, discourse analysis, computer-mediated communication, translation, or language learning and teaching are of merit.
