Chair in Linguistics, Aarhus University, Denmark

Applications are invited for a permanent position as full professor
of linguistics, at the Department of Linguistics, Aarhus University,
tenable from Dec.1, 1995, or as soon as possible thereafter.
Applicants are required to be able to document:
 (1) broad knowledge of modern linguistic theory and analysis;
 (2) experience with work on a range of languages;
 (3) original international-standard research work within one or
more fields, particularly research that links empirical studies and
theory development;
 (4) experience with project management and, if possible, teamwork;
 (5) teaching qualifications and experience.

The appointee will be required to take part in all types of
activities: research, teaching, and administration. The appointee
will further be required to contribute to academic cooperation with
other departments. Acquaintance with Danish is an advantage but not
a condition; non-Danish-speaking applicants are required to undertake
to learn Danish within a reasonably short period (a year or two).
The language of instruction is Danish, but English, Swedish, or
Norwegian is acceptable during the initial period.
 The annual salary is at present approx. DKK 474.000, including an
obligatory pension fund contribution of approx. 36.000.
 The application should be marked 1994-211/1-15, and addressed to
the Rector, Aarhus University, Journalkontoret, DK-8000 Aarhus C,
Denmark. _Closing date: April 18, 1995._
 Documentation of qualifications (three copies if possible)
should not be enclosed but sent separately to the Department of
Linguistics, Aarhus University, Building 327, DK-8000 Aarhus C,
Denmark. The documentation should be marked as above, and should
include:
 (a) Publications and other written material which are submitted
as particularly relevant for the application;
 (b) a complete list of publications and other work, with an
indication of which items are submitted as particularly relevant;
 (c) a curriculum vitae, including details of teaching and
administrative experience, as well as research projects;
 (d) copies of academic diplomas, documentation of teaching
qualifications, and documentation of Danish proficiency if relevant.

Applications are evaluated by a special selection committee, whose
recommendation is confidential, but will be sent to all
applicants. The selection committee has the right to request further
material from applicants. Material sent on computer discs will not
be considered.

Chair of English Language
The University of Aarhus, Denmark, invites applications for a chair
in the Description of Modern English, tenable from December 1, 1995,
or as soon as possible thereafter.
 The aim of the chair is to develop and strengthen the language
research profile of the Department of English. Considerable
international-standard original research in the description of modern
English is required, and experience with management of research
projects will be an advantage. Candidates must also have extensive
teaching experience at university level in the different language
disciplines taught at the department. Other things being equal,
candidates who are proficient in Danish will be preferred.
 Active involvement in all aspects of the work at the department
will be required. Candidates who do not speak Danish will therefore
be expected to learn enough Danish to be able to take part in the
full work of the department within one year. Both men and women are
encouraged to apply.

The letter of application (marked 1994-211/1-14) should be addressed
to the Rector, and sent to the University of Aarhus, Journalkontoret,
Ndr. Ringgade 1, DK-8000 Aarhus C, Denmark. _Closing date: April 18,
1995._
 The following material (marked as above, and in three copies if
possible) should be sent directly to the Department of English
(address below):
 (a) curriculum vitae, including details of teaching and
administrative experience and research;

complete with all bibliographical information. Please indicate
clearly on the list which items are being submitted with the
application;
 (c) the written material which the applicant is submitting
(theses, publications, etc.) as indicated on list (b);
 (d) copies of academic diplomas, documentation of teaching
experience, and documentation of Danish language proficiency if
relevant.

The selection committee reserves the right to request further material
for consideration. Material sent on computer discs will not be
considered.

contribution of approx. 36.000.
