Description:
The School of English wishes to appoint a
Lecturer in Linguistics. Colleagues in the
School of English are known for their
international-quality research in English
Language, Applied Linguistics, Literary
Linguistics, English Literature, Theatre and
Performance, and Creative Writing and much of
this activity is passed onto students through
our research-led approach to learning and
teaching. With over 50 members of academic
staff, the School of English is able to offer
outstanding teaching across a wide range of
subject areas. In recent years five members of
staff have received Senate Awards for Teaching
Excellence, and one of our staff has been
awarded a National Teaching Fellowship.
The post-holder will have a strong research
profile in syntax and have a particular
interest in the study of first language
acquisition, and their field of research will
complement existing research strengths in
linguistics. You will have experience in
working at the interface of these two subject
areas and will be expected to contribute to
existing modules, including Structure of
English; Introduction to Linguistics (Level 1),
Syntax (Level 2), and First Language
Acquisition (Level 2). You will also develop
and deliver new teaching at Level 3 in a
subject related to your research specialism and
also contribute to teaching at Masters level,
and be expected to undertake a suitable
administrative role. The ability to demonstrate
outreach and public engagement is also
desirable for this position.
You will have a PhD (or equivalent experience)
in a relevant subject area together with proven
teaching ability, and the ability to contribute
to existing modules at both undergraduate and
postgraduate levels, as well as developing new
modules in your research specialism. The
ability to contribute to Sheffield’s research
profile in linguistics is essential for this
position.
This post is open ended and has a start date of
1 September 2014.
