Description:
The University of Macau is a leading higher educational institution in

and Linguistics), the department offers a Minor in Translation and MA

and in Translation Studies, as well as PhD supervision across the range of
the department's expertise.
In Linguistics the department has several areas of strength and
applications in all areas of English Language and Linguistics will be
considered, but those in the areas of Language Policy and Planning,
Forensic Linguistics, Literary Linguistics or Pedagogical Linguistics will
be particularly welcome.

if the appointment panel considers this more appropriate to a candidate's
