Should the legal
requirements for civil-servant status be fulfilled, the successful applicant will be appointed as a civil servant on a tenured professorship (W2 on the German salary scale for university professors).
Anthropological Linguistics /
Cultural Linguistics considers language a social resource as part of a complex and intertwined set of cultural practices. The professorship thus focuses on research into the social and cultural context of language and communication, and
into the domain-specific variability of linguistic concepts, structures, and practices, taking into account postcolonial speech communities and societies. This includes cognitive and comparative aspects. One of the required focus areas is
the postcolonial English-speaking world (World Englishes). Clearly identifiable research activities in another postcolonial language area are strongly desired.
The successful applicant is expected to cover and represent the field
in its entirety and in all of the faculty’s study programs that have linguistic components, as well as to contribute to the further development and internationalization of these study programs. The teaching duties comprise courses in the BA
programs “Linguistik / Language Sciences” and “English-Speaking Cultures / English” as well as the MA programs “Language Sciences” and “English-Speaking Cultures: Language, Text, Media”. Applicants are required to demonstrate the ability to
teach in English and German and must possess language skills at the C2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference.
The faculty subscribes to a modern interpretation of philology which includes transfer (in teaching and
research) between the individual philologies and the sub-disciplines of linguistics as well as a perspective on interdisciplinarity. Disciplinary and interdisciplinary cooperation is possible within the context of the linguistic research
foci of the faculty (Language in (Post)Colonial Contexts; Language Contact, Language Typology), in the faculty’s institute of general and applied linguistics as well as in the joint research platform “Worlds of Contradiction”. The faculty’s
linguistics section hosts a Malta Center and has close cooperations with the University of Malta.
Applications with the usual documents (CV, photocopies of certificates/diplomas, list of publications, teaching portfolio, research
profile), stating the above reference number, must be submitted electronically to the email address below or sent to the mailing address below by 30 June 2022.
