Responsibilities will include academic teaching, research and service in the field of French Linguistics. Candidate's Profile - Candidates hold a PhD, with a doctoral thesis in the field of French Linguistics. - Candidates are required to have at least two years of postdoctoral experience on October 1, 2011. - Candidates are required to have research experience in the field of Modern French Linguistics (syntax, semantics or pragmatics), as is evident from contributions to international conferences and publications in books and/or peer-reviewed journals. - Candidates are required to have an excellent knowledge of French (native or near-native). - Candidates are required to possess the necessary didactic, organizational and communicative skills for teaching in an academic context; - Demonstrated international mobility, amongst others through participation in research programs at research institutions not linked to the university where the highest degree was obtained, is considered an asset. Candidates are requested to submit: - an outline (max. 1500 words) explaining their views on research, teaching and service in relation to this vacancy; - the required transcripts (copies of degrees). Selection procedure: 1. Candidates will be short-listed on the basis of their curriculum vitae, list of publications, and the outline; 2. Short-listed applicants will be invited for an interview and required to present a micro-class, on the basis of which the final selection will be made. Candidates are required to show their willingness to learn Dutch (insofar as they do not speak this language on the day of application). The appointment is in the rank of Lecturer (docent) or Senior Lecturer (hoofddocent). A full-time position in the rank of Lecturer is a tenure track appointment for a period of five years, at the end of which, following an evaluation, a tenure decision will be taken. A full-time position in the rank of Senior Lecturer is in principle a tenured appointment. In the case of a first appointment as professor ("ZAP" or "Zelfstandig Academisch Personeel"), in the rank of Lecturer or Senior Lecturer, however, the Board of Governors of Ghent University reserves the right to grant a temporary, tenure track appointment for a maximum period of three years, at the end of which, following an evaluation, a tenure decision will be taken. For further information about this vacancy, applicants are welcome to contact Professor Marleen Van Peteghem (contact information below).
