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.

Description:
Tasks:

- Teaching at undergraduate and graduate levels, in lecture and
seminar formats.
- Supervision of BA and MA theses.

Requirements:
- Excellent research qualities, as displayed in a PhD degree on a
relevant topic in an area of translation studies or second language
acquisition (candidates nearing completion of a PhD may also be

- The ability to teach BA and MA courses within the field of
translation studies, and to design new courses in this area, in close
cooperation with colleagues in the English Department and LUCL.
The Department currently offers both a BA Minor in translation
(English-Dutch and Dutch-English) and an MA programme
Translation in Theory and Practice, which from 2012-13 will be a
specialisation within the new MA Linguistics programme (see
https://studiegids.leidenuniv.nl/studies/show/1523/vertalen-engels-nederlands-engels and
https://studiegids.leidenuniv.nl/studies/show/1552/english-language-and-culture-translation-dutch-english-dutch for further information on
the 2011-12 programmes). The Department particularly welcomes
applicants who can teach advanced and specialised translation (e.g.
medical translation or subtitling) from Dutch to English and English to
Dutch.
- The ability to teach second language acquisition and second
language teaching will be an advantage, as will be experience in any
of the following: writing, applied grammar and vocabulary,
pronunciation courses in the language laboratory, presentation skills
and rhetoric. Further information on BA teaching in the Department in
2011-12 can be found at
https://studiegids.leidenuniv.nl/studies/show/1636/engelse_taal_en_cultuur).
- Administrative abilities, as measured against relative seniority.
- The successful applicant will be a native speaker of Dutch or
English, with a near-native-speaker level of competence in the other
language (equivalent to C2 in the Common European Framework of
Reference). Applicants who do not fulfil these requirements will not
be considered.
On appointment, depending on experience to date, the successful
applicant may be required to enter a nationally standardized tertiary
teaching skills certification trajectory (Basis Kwalificatie Onderwijs).
We offer:
The rank of lecturer (Universitair Docent) corresponds roughly to that
of assistant professor. Salary range: from € 3.195,- to € 4.374,- per
month (salary scale 11), commensurate with qualifications, with
additional holiday and end-of-year bonuses. Candidates from
outside the Netherlands may be eligible for a substantial tax break.

- A motivation letter.
- A CV listing education and employment history, publications,
