Full Professor (W2)

Contemporary English Linguistics

at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities

 

We are inviting applications for the position of full professor in the area
of contemporary English linguistics, to be filled as soon as possible. The
successful candidate will have a demonstrated research and teaching focus on
the empirical study of the contemporary English language based on approaches
from the spectrum of cognitive theories (e.g. cognitive linguistics,
cognitive grammar, construction grammar, usage-based approaches). One focus
of their work should be in a subfield of linguistics, with multimodality
and/or semantics/pragmatics being particularly welcome.

 

The successful candidate will teach in all study programs offered by the
Department of English Studies at the bachelor's and master's level and have
teaching experience ideally in more than one subfield of English
linguistics. In addition, a demonstrable interest in collaborating with
literary studies and participating in planned interdisciplinary research
networks is expected. Experience in acquiring third-party funding is
desirable. The Department of English Studies at RWTH Aachen is particularly
committed to high-quality teaching and expects the successful candidate to
have a corresponding profile and commitment. As participation in academic
self-administration is expected, evidence of previous involvement in this
area is desirable.

 

The requirements include a doctoral degree and additional research
experience, such as a habilitation (post-doctoral lecturing qualification)
or equivalent achievements gained as a university researcher or professor or
in a research position outside academia. Teaching ability and dedication are
essential and the application should include proof of this. Fluent German is
not required to start the position but the successful candidate will be
expected to hold classes in German within the first 5 years.
