Lecturer in the History of the English Language

Applications are invited from candidates with a primary research interest 
and proven research and teaching record in the History of the English 
Language. An additional interest in bibliography and/or corpus-based 
historical linguistics would be an advantage. The Department would like to 
appoint someone who will help to bridge the literature and language 
interests in the Department, and the successful candidate will be expected 
to contribute fully to the teaching of literature as well as language.

Appointment will be at an appropriate point of the Lecturer A scale (UCL 
grade 7, GBP 31,685-£34,624 + GBP 2,714 London Allowance). The appointment 
will start in October 2008.

The UCL English Department was awarded an ‘Excellent’ grade in the 1994 
Teaching Quality Assessment, and a 5*A in the 1996 and 2002 Research 
Assessment Exercises.

Candidates should send a copy of their c.v., the names and contact details 
of two referees, a covering letter, and completed equal opportunities 
form, by e-mail to Kathryn Metzenthin, Department Administrator, 
[log in to unmask] by the closing date. Applicants should ask their 
referees to submit references direct to the department by the closing 
date. 

The closing date for receipt of applications is 31 January 2008. 

Shortlisting will take place on 8 February 2008. Interviews will be held 
on Friday 7 March 2008. Those invited to attend for interview will be 
asked to submit a short piece of written work by 19 February.
