The Department of Language and Communication invites applications for a position as associate professor (or assistant professor) in language acquisition that is available from 1st February 2023 or as soon as possible thereafter.
If there are no qualified applicants at the associate professor level, the position may be filled at the assistant professor level. Applicants should make clear in their application, which position they are applying for (associate or assistant professor).
Appointment as associate professor requires academic qualifications at a level that, in addition to a PhD, reflect a minimum of 3 years relevant research and teaching experience.
Appointment as assistant professor is limited to 3 years and requires academic qualifications at Ph.D. level.
Applicants should be able to document relevant research production at an international level, as well as teaching competences and experience, within language acquisition in one or more of the following areas: language acquisition, language and communicative development, language difficulties, bilingualism and multilingualism. Applicants should also have broad experience that qualifies them to teach in linguistic subjects on BA programmes in Intercultural Pedagogy and Danish as a second language (Interkulturel pædagogik og dansk som andetsprog), Speech, Language and Hearing Therapy (Audiologopædi) and Audiology (Audiologi), and the MA programme in Speech, Language and Hearing Therapy (Audiologopædi). A knowledge of Danish is necessary as teaching is in Danish and relates to the Danish language. Relevant teaching qualifications and experience should be documented.
The appointing committee will take into consideration how the applicant matches the Department’s research environment and applicants are asked to specify in their application how they will contribute to the further development of the Department’s research and teaching profile. Information about the Department’s research can be found at https://www.sdu.dk/en/om_sdu/institutter_centre/isk/forskning.
In addition to research and teaching, the associate professor will be expected to perform a number of other tasks such as applications for external funding, collaborations with external partners, and general administrative tasks.
