    University or Organization: University of Bergen Department: Department of English Rank of Job: Associate Professor Specialty Areas: English linguistics Required Language(s): English (Code = ENG)

    Description: ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR

    A position as Associate Professor in English linguistics is open at the Department of English at the University of Bergen, Norway.

    A description of the position with details of curricula and areas of responsibility, particular duties, and factors which will be emphasized in the selection process may be obtained from the Secretariat for the Faculty of Arts, telephone no.: (+47) 55 58 93 80/90.

    For additional information on the position please contact Professor Leiv Egil Breivik, Department of English, telephone no.: (+47) 55 58 23 63.

    The successful applicant must have a doctorate in English linguistics or corresponding qualifications. If no qualified applicant applies for a permanent position, the University may consider making an appointment to the position of Associate Professor for a period of up to three years if it is probable that the applicant will obtain his/her doctorate in that period. At the end of this appointment period, the candidate's qualifications will be re-evaluated with a view to a permanent appointment. If no applicant is qualified for either permanent or temporary appointment as Associate Professor, the University may consider appointing a candidate to the position as Assistant Professor (salary scale L.R. 25, level 38/53) for a period of up to three years and six months in order to cover some of the responsibilities associated with the position.

    The Department wishes to strengthen its research and teaching expertise primarily in the area of English phonetics/phonology, but also in the areas of pragmatics and syntax. Furthermore, the Department wishes to place greater priority on the use of ICT in teaching and research. In assessing the applicants, particular emphasis will thus be placed on the applicant's qualifications in these research and teaching areas, though applicants whose qualifications are in other areas of the discipline may also be considered.

    The language of instruction at the department is English, while all administration is carried out in Norwegian.

    Basic teacher training is required. The successful candidate will be offered appropriate training if this requirement has not been met prior to appointment.

    The salary will be set at the appropriate level (54-60, code 1011) of the current wage scale.

    The University of Bergen applies the principles of public access to information in connection with appointments to academic positions.

    The successful applicant must comply with the guidelines that apply to the position at any time.

    The application shall include a complete curriculum vitae, with copies of certificates, diplomas and testimonials appended. The application shall contain a list of the enclosures documenting the applicant's teaching qualifications. In their applications, applicants must also indicate those scholarly works or parts of works they wish to be given particular attention in the assessment. These should not exceed 10 in number.

    All of the above documents, along with the selected scholarly works and a list of these works, shall be submitted in triplicate to the University of Bergen, The Faculty of Arts, Postboks 7800, 5020 Bergen, Norway, no later than 28 February 2004.
