The appointee may be assigned teaching and supervision in English linguistics at all academic levels, including the doctoral level. The Department of Foreign Languages and Translation is also responsible for teaching English in the teacher education programme. Applicants' school- related work as well as experience in continuing and further education will therefore be considered. The appointee must be able to participate in work related to teaching, examinations and administration within relevant subject areas and according to existing regulations. Further, in accordance with his/her description of position and professional area of expertise, the appointee may also be assigned work outside of the faculty/department with which the position is associated, for example in connection with continuing and further education (EVU). Applicants' previous research activity and participation in professional networks will also be considered. The appointee must be able to document linguistic breadth in his/her research area and teaching experience. Further qualifications within one or more of the following subject areas are required: linguistic system studies (including grammar, phonetics or semantics), historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, language acquisition and English-Norwegian contrastive linguistics. The appointee must also have a good knowledge of modern linguistic theories. Active international publication work at a high level is a condition for employment, and the applicant should also be able to refer to having a well- developed international network in his/her research field. It is also expected that the appointee will contribute to bilingual and interdisciplinary cooperation. Documentation of relevant practical-pedagogical competency based on educational background, teaching experience and/or academic supervision is required. Applicants who upon appointment cannot document this basic level of competency must acquire it within a two-year period, for example by completing UiA's course in university pedagogics. Pedagogical qualifications beyond the basic competency level may award a competitive advantage when ranking professionally/academically competent applicants. Emphasis will be placed on applicants having acquired broad administrative experience. It is also desirable for applicants to have a good - oral and written - knowledge of Norwegian or another Scandinavian language. Should the applicant not have an adequate skill level in Norwegian or another Scandinavian language at the time of appointment, he/she must acquire these skills within a two-year period. Consideration will be given to applicants' ability to cooperate, take initiative and work systematically. Short-listed applicants will be invited for interviews, and may also be asked to give a trial lecture or other demonstration of their pedagogical qualifications. With the applicant's permission, UiA will also conduct a reference check before appointment. See http://uia.easycruit.com/vacancy/629131/35068?iso=gb for further details.
