The Division of Linguistics and Multilingual Studies (LMS) in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, invites qualified academics to apply for a number of tenure-track faculty positions at either Assistant or Associate Professor level. The new Division of LMS was established in 2008 to oversee the teaching of a new BA (Hons) programme in Linguistics and Multilingual Studies, which admits some 60 majors every year. In line with NTU’s mission to become a world-class research-led university, the new division places strong emphasis on cutting-edge research and international publications. With multilingualism as a central theme, research in the division is geared towards a deepening of our understanding of multilingualism through empirical studies of topics such as language description and documentation, language contact, loanword phonology, machine translation, language maintenance and shift, and multilingual language processing and acquisition. Potential applicants can view more details about the division’s teaching and research on its website: http://www.ntu.edu.sg/hss/lms/
Successful applicants can look forward to a research-stimulating environment. Interdisciplinary research is strongly encouraged and supported in the School and teaching duties are commensurate with top research universities in the world. New faculty members will be entitled to apply for a Start Up Grant of up to SGD100,000. The School also makes generous annual provision for conference travel and research grants.
Suitable applicants should have PhDs in Linguistics or related fields and be able to contribute to the running of the Linguistics programme by teaching core courses. The appointees will also be expected to offer electives in one or more areas of specialisation. At the current stage of the programme, the Division seeks applicants interested in multilingualism from all fields, including but not limited to topics such as bilingual cognition, language contact, corpus linguistics, typology of Asian languages and historical linguistics. A research background in languages spoken in the region is highly desirable.
In addition to teaching at the undergraduate level, successful applicants will be expected to contribute to postgraduate-level teaching and supervision, and be active in research and publication. Appointees should complement existing strengths in the Division and also add to those strengths in new and substantive ways. For appointments at the Associate Professorship level, applicants should possess very high standing in their fields of specialisation, as well as extensive experience in administration, teaching and research.
