University of Roehampton - Department of Media, Culture and Language

Applications are invited for a full-time Lectureship/Senior Lectureship in English Language and Linguistics. We are looking for applicants with expertise in research alongside experience of teaching at undergraduate and/or postgraduate levels.

We are seeking applications from highly motivated candidates who will be involved in the delivery of a range of modules across our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. We are specifically looking to appoint someone who can teach in a combination of any of the following areas:

•  sociolinguistics,
•  critical discourse analysis

•  language and the media,
•  applied linguistics (TESOL),
•  language and the law,
•  phonetics and phonology.

In addition, the willingness and ability to develop courses in the fields of social media and language, multimodal analysis, corpus linguistics or language in the workplace are very welcome.

Applicants must be willing to teach across all levels and across a range of topics. You should enjoy working collaboratively, within a multidisciplinary environment. You will have a research profile commensurable with your level of appointment as well as experience of teaching in higher education.

This is an exciting time for the University; our new £35m state-of-the art library has just opened and we are continuing to develop a number of external partnerships across the globe. We have a strong emphasis on supporting our students to reach their full potential in order to launch themselves onto successful graduate careers and we are embarking on a radical programme of enhancement in learning and teaching across all our academic areas. The University is based on a beautiful parkland campus, is located in south-west London and offers excellent facilities and work environment for research, learning and teaching.
