To mark the occasion of York's 50th anniversary, the University
intends to create up to twenty new Research Lectureships. These
positions are aimed at providing outstanding postdoctoral researchers
with an opportunity for an extended period of research and a permanent
career path. The positions offer the opportunity of a 3-year period to
concentrate on establishing a strong personal research profile,
followed by a transfer to an established academic post; subject to
successful completion of probation, appointments will be made at Grade
7 (the entry-level academic grade of Lecturer). Each Anniversary
Research Lecturer will have a mentor in the host department and the
University will make available a comprehensive training programme.

The Department of Language and Linguistic Science invites applications
from junior scholars whose research interests will complement our
current major specialisations, or will increase the breadth of study
within the department. Please see http://www.york.ac.uk/language/ for
more information about the department.

To apply, follow the link "Academic" at https://jobs.york.ac.uk to
"Anniversary Research Lectureships". Please consult the Candidate
Brief, especially sections 4 and 5. The deadline for applications is
midnight 22 March.
