Description:

A full professorship W1 – tenure track or W3 for Translation Studies is to be occupied at the next possible date at the Faculty of Modern Languages at Heidelberg University.

The Institute for Translation and Interpreting at Heidelberg University invites applications for the post of professor of translation studies with a focus on translation processes and translation workflow. The incumbent will be requested to participate in research, teaching and examinations. Other duties include the establishment at the institute of a cross-language research and teaching sector in the field referred to above, supervision of young academics, and appropriate participation in administrative matters.

Applicants should have a track record of empirical research into the interfaces between different processes, resources and competences of translation and multilingual text production, such as interactions of human, computer-aided and machine translation, innovative forms of inter- and intralingual translation/communication, also in the continuum between spoken and written language (e.g. multimedia/audiovisual translation, speech-to-text interpreting, translation into “Leichte Sprache”/ Easy Language). Experience in conducting major research projects, success in securing external funding, and a record of participation in academic self-governance will be advantageous.

Suitable candidates for the W1-professorship will be university graduates with an above-average PhD. Candidates for W3 additionally require a Habilitation, a successfully evaluated junior professorship or a comparable qualification(in accordance with Article 47, Paragraph 2 of the Higher Education Law of the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg).

The university aims to increase the number of women in areas in which they have been underrepresented in until now. Qualified female academics are especially invited to apply. Preference will be given to disabled applicants who are otherwise equally qualified for the position.

Applications should be submitted, along with the usual accompanying documents (CV, copies of degrees, a list of publications, a list of courses taught, possibly course evaluations, and a proposal for a research project) in one coherent PDF file no later than October 31 to the Dean’s Office: Dekanat der Neuphilologischen Fakultaet, Vossstr. 2, Geb. 37, 69115 Heidelberg; E-mail: [email protected].
