Linguistics and English Language are a highly research active area of the School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences (rated 5 in the 2001 RAE). Individuals who can initiate and conduct research of the highest quality within the area of English Language, as demonstrated by a track record of publication, are sought. We particularly encourage applications from linguists whose research is in one or more of the following areas, in combination with Scots: aspects of the history of English from the Early Modern period onwards, text, discourse and style and (historical) sociolinguistics.

The successful applicant will play a strong part in the department's lively research culture, and will be able to play a major role in its rapidly-developing postgraduate programme, through attracting and supervising PhD students and developing and teaching courses at MSc level, particularly within the area of English Language. S/he will contribute fully to the delivery of the department's undergraduate teaching, and play an appropriate part in academic administration within the School and department.
