The duties of the lecturer/PhD candidate consist of teaching, conducting PhD research, writing a PhD thesis and obtaining a doctorate. The lecturer job description details the teaching duties, while the PhD candidate job description details the PhD research duties. Since different salary scales and different job performance standards apply, there shall be two separate appointments for reasons of legal status. Together with the other new lecturers you will participate in a comprehensive introductory programme. You will be supervised closely during the first year of your appointment. Additional didactical training is also part of the appointment. Based on the candidate's educational portfolio, previously acquired competences will be taken into consideration. The Faculty of Humanities offers you the opportunity to collaborate with leading researchers at research institutes that - partly as a result of their multidisciplinary approach - are world-renowned. Moreover, you will be teaching in a dynamic context in which new educational methods are being developed. We are looking for a candidate with a clear aptitude for the domain of Swedish linguistics, especially syntax. The candidate must have a (near-) native command of the Swedish language, and a clear interest in language acquisition because a substantial part of the teaching load will be within that field. Furthermore, the candidate should have demonstrable teaching and research skills. Candidates must submit a detailed PhD proposal according to the guidelines that can be found on the ACLC website (see below) on a relevant subject in the field of Scandinavian linguistics. They may contact the ACLC director, Prof dr P.C. Hengeveld (p.c.hengevelduva.nl) to find a potential supervisor that may assist them in the elaboration of this proposal. The proposal will be evaluated with respect to viability, general scholarly interest, relevance for the current ACLC and Departmental research target areas, e.g.: The Language Blueprint and Learnability. Information about the research targets of the ACLC and about the research groups working under the auspices of the ACLC can be obtained from the ACLC website, under Research. It is of the utmost importance that you check the ACLC website (http://www.hum.uva.nl/aclc/ under Vacancies) for further information.
