Lecturer in Applied Linguistics

The Department of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics (formerly known as Modern Languages and Linguistics) at the University of Southampton invites applications to a Lectureship in Applied Linguistics with a focus on language learning and/or teaching, available from 1st September 2023 on a permanent basis £42155 - £53353 per annum, depending upon experience and qualifications. Applications are invited from scholars in applied linguistics with expertise and adaptability to teach across subject areas that complement existing strengths and enhance UG and PGR taught programmes in our department. We welcome candidates with active research interests in L2 reading/writing, classroom learning research, technology enhanced language learning and teacher/language education.

You must have completed a PhD in a relevant field and show a developing profile of international excellence in research and publications, together with potential for attracting research funding. You will contribute to research-led teaching, supporting the delivery and ongoing development of undergraduate and postgraduate curricula by delivering high quality courses that complement and extend the current provision in applied linguistics. You will lead and contribute to modules according to your specific areas of expertise, including modules of our undergraduate programmes in English Language and Linguistics and MA programmes in applied linguistics/English Language Teaching. You will teach students specialising in applied linguistics as well as those electing to take module options in the discipline, so the ability to deliver courses that engage the interest of students from different degree programmes is essential. You will supervise dissertations at undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral levels and further support students by acting as a personal academic tutor.
