Vacancy: Senior Lecturer/Reader in Arabic


University of Salford - Faculty of Arts, Media & Social Sciences

£46,510 - £52,347

PA Ref: 1129524

Permanent Full time

The School of Languages has the only major Arabic unit in the United Kingdom with a central focus on Arabic/English Translation and Interpreting, Arabic Linguistics and the Teaching of Arabic. It has six members of staff including one professor and two lecturers in Arabic. The Arabic staff at Salford have proven strengths in teaching, doctoral supervision and research.

Following its success in the 2008 RAE in Linguistics and European Studies, the University of Salford School of Languages has now been approved by the Saudi Arabian Government for study at BA, MA and PhD levels in Arabic/English Translation and Interpreting, Arabic/English Interpreting, Theoretical Linguistics, and Applied Linguistics (including English Language Teaching).

Staff in the Arabic section at Salford are active and experienced researchers. In the most recent RAE exercise, three members of the Arabic section were entered under the University of Salford Linguistic submission, which scored an overall result of 2.1 (equivalent to 5* in the 2001 RAE submission). In recent years, the Arabic section has hosted numerous conferences and other events dealing with Arabic linguistics and Arabic/English Translation and Interpreting.

The School would now like to appoint a Senior Lecturer/Reader in Arabic to maintain and enhance the staffing level within Arabic.
