Associate Professor of Phonetics

The Faculty of Linguistics, Philology and Phonetics and Kellogg College, Oxford are seeking to appoint an Associate Professor (or Professor) of Phonetics. The post is offered on a full-time basis, available from 1 October 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter. Applications are welcomed from well qualified candidates working on Phonetics in any theoretical tradition or traditions. The post holder will join the team based in the Phonetics Laboratory. The Laboratory has excellent facilities for experimental and computational research, and forms part of a broader suite of laboratory facilities in the Faculty which are available for use by colleagues and students across the Faculty and beyond. In 2025 the Faculty will move to the new Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities, where the laboratories will for the first time be accommodated within a single Faculty hub. The successful applicant will be expected among other things:

• To carry out 36 hours of lectures and/or classes per year (to undergraduates and graduates), and 6 hours of undergraduate tutorial teaching per week during term time, or a broadly equivalent amount at the discretion of the Faculty Board.
• Teaching in Phonetics is expected to make up the larger portion, if not all, of this teaching effort, covering all aspects of phonetic theory and practical skills, including Acoustic Phonetics, Experimental Phonetics, detailed auditory-phonetic transcription, and including elementary level Phonology. There will also be opportunities to contribute to other areas, according to the candidate's expertise and the Faculty's needs.
• To engage in research in Linguistics, to a very high and internationally prominent standard.
• To disseminate the research findings, through peer-reviewed publications, participation in international meetings, and other forms of external engagement.
• To secure research funding, engage in the management of research projects, and support early career researchers in pursuing grants and fellowships.
• To support infrastructure for research, through participation in shared management of the Faculty's research and teaching facilities for Phonetics, and through support for a thriving and interconnected research environment and culture.
