Senior Lecturer in Linguistics specialising in communication within organisations
Subject area
Subject area description
Linguistics is also included in the Department's Master in Communication specialising in public communication for authorities and Master in Language Technology program.
Linguistic interaction is an overriding theme in research, with a focus on phonetics, psycholinguistics, semantics and pragmatics, and language technology/computational linguistics.
The Centre for Linguistic Theory and Studies in Probability (CLASP) at the Department is funded by a 10 year grant from the Swedish Research Council (2015-2025). CLASP is devoted to research and advanced training in the application of probabilistic modelling and machine learning methods to core issues in linguistic theory and cognition.
Job assignments
The position involves both teaching and research. The teaching takes place mainly within the Communications program specialising in public communication for authorities at advanced level, but also in linguistics at undergraduate, advanced and postgraduate level. The teaching is mainly conducted in Swedish and for examination at the advanced level at the Faculty of Arts the examiner is usually required to hold a docent qualification.
The successful applicant is expected to conduct research within linguistics, with relevance for the Communications Program. The applicant must, in their application, decide on how their own research can promote and deepen the cooperation with the subject's overall theme (linguistic interaction) as described above.
The holder of the position is expected to be physically present at the Department and regularly participate in its operations. Other tasks may also be required within the context of the employment.
