Description:
UNIVERSITY OF WALES, BANGOR
COLLEGE OF ARTS & HUMANITIES DEPARTMENT OF LINGUISTICS AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE
RCUK Academic Fellow (Project on Welsh-English code-switching)
Starting salary: £20,044 - £24,352 (on R&A Grade 1A) p.a.
An RCUK Fellowship in Bilingualism has been awarded to the University of Wales, Bangor, to be attached initially to a project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council on code-switching and convergence in Welsh. This project is being conducted by Professor Margaret Deuchar of the Department of Linguistics and English Language from 2005-10.
The Fellow's main duties will be to participate in the AHRC-funded research project on code-switching in Welsh as a research officer, assisting as appropriate with data collection, transcription and analysis as well as providing creative input at a theoretical level. In addition it is hoped that the Fellow will contribute to research output and grant capture in bilingualism in general in the context of the department's and university's research strategy.
He/she will also be asked to participate in departmental teaching to a gradually increasing extent over the five-year period and to engage in outreach work in schools. The Fellowship is a good opportunity for the Fellow to develop their own research career in a way that will facilitate entry into a permanent academic position.
Candidates should have a PhD in Linguistics or a related field, preferably one or more publications, and should be ambitious and highly motivated researchers. Knowledge of Welsh or willingness to learn it is desirable, as is the ability to provide theoretical input to the project. The successful candidate will be expected to start 1st October, 2006 and the post is for a period of 5 years, with the likelihood of a permanent post following.
