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

its excellence in teaching, research and service to the community. The
University is growing rapidly with a number of new strategic initiatives,
including the relocation to a new campus and the establishment of the
largest Residential College system in Asia. The new campus will be 20 times
larger than the present one with a projected increase of 40% in student
intake and faculty size. English is the University's working language.
The Department of English of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities
invites applications for the position of Full Professor/Associate Professor
of Translation Studies.
In addition to its programmes in English Studies, the department offers a
new Minor programme in Translation, and a successful MA in Translation
Studies, as well as doctoral studies in Translation Studies within the PhD
programme in English Linguistics.
The successful candidate will be expected to teach across the programmes in
Translation Studies, and to supervise research at both MA and PhD levels.
Candidates are expected to be internationally recognized scholars in
Translation Studies, preferably with expertise in Chinese-English
translation, and with an outstanding research record in both the theory and
practice of translation. The successful appointee will be expected to
provide academic leadership and to contribute to the administration and
management of the programmes.

a related area. They should be successful university teachers, particularly

qualifications.
The selected candidate is expected to assume duty in August 2013.
