A two-year research and teaching appointment in Sociolinguistics from October 2009 for an outstanding academic at an early stage of his or her career.
These fellowships are funded by the Andrew W.

Applicants must have obtained his or her doctorate by 1 October 2009, and should not normally have completed it earlier than 1 October 2005. The post is open to applicants working in any area of sociolinguistics, but we would particularly welcome applications from those with interests in language contact, creole linguistics or the varieties of English used in postcolonial settings.
This post is a joint appointment between the Faculty of English and the Faculty of Linguistics, Philology and Phonetics. A college association will be arranged for this post, and it is envisaged that the postholder will be based in the college, but will undertake teaching for both Faculties and for the College.
