Subject: 3 year Research Fellowship in London

                            Research Fellowship
                  Centre for Applied Linguistic Research
                         Thames Valley University
                                  London
                                  (ELE 2)

The Centre for Applied Linguistic Research in Thames Valley
University received a rating of '5' in the 1996 Research
Assessment Exercise, the joint top rating in the field of
Linguistics.  The Centre wishes to build on this achievement
and to expand its activities by appointing a Research Fellow
in Applied Linguistics for three years in the first instance.
The appointee should have a strong and recent record of
research and publication, and it is expected that he or she
will possess a PhD.  The appointment will be made on the
salary range �22,881 - �28,122.

Duties

The appointee will be expected to meet the following criteria:

-    to contribute to one or more of CALR's inter-linked research
     strands - language use across social, cultural and ethnic
     boundaries; second and additional language learning and
     teaching; language education policy and practice in
     multilingual schools

-    to participate fully in the work of the CALR research group,
     eg in assisting with some research group related
     administrative work, taking initiatives to stimulate
     research activity through areas such as research methodology
     instruction, staff development, mentoring new researchers,
     working with doctoral students etc

-    to offer regular (ie up to one per term) research seminars

-    to do a limited amount of teaching ie a maximum average of 6
     hours per week over a 30-week year (specific timing and
     areas to be negotiated)

The conditions of employment will enable the Research Fellow
to pursue a personal programme of high quality research and
publication, and to frame bids to external funding agencies.
The successful applicant will be expected to have well-
developed ideas for research over this period, and it is
anticipated that they will make a major contribution to the
CALR submission to the next Research Assessment Exercise.

There are no restrictions on the areas within Applied
Linguistics from which the successful candidate will be
appointed.  Even so, the capacity to work within the major
areas of research that characterise the Centre would be a very
significant advantage.
