With over 5,000 employees, 30,000 students and a budget of more than 600 million euros, the University of Amsterdam (UvA) is an intellectual hub within the Netherlands. Teaching and research at the UvA are conducted within seven faculties: Humanities, Social and Behavioural Sciences, Economics and Business, Law, Science, Medicine and Dentistry. Housed on four city campuses in or near the heart of Amsterdam, where disciplines come together and interact, the faculties have close links with thousands of researchers and hundreds of institutions at home and abroad.
The UvA’s students and employees are independent thinkers, competent rebels who dare to question dogmas and aren’t satisfied with easy answers and standard solutions. To work at the UvA is to work in an independent, creative, innovative and international climate characterised by an open atmosphere and a genuine engagement with the city of Amsterdam and society.
The Faculty of Humanities hosts internationally-leading teaching and research across a large number of disciplines in language and culture.

The Department of Literature and Linguistics hosts an internationally highly-ranked General Linguistics section.

The candidate will teach English linguistics from a World English perspective on our BA programme, will contribute to masters programmes in Language and Society and Language in Education, and to courses in the General Linguistics programme. Research in language at the University of Amsterdam is positioned within three interdisciplinary research centres: the Amsterdam Center for Language and Communication (ACLC), the ILLC (Institute for Logic, Language and Computation), and the ABC (Amsterdam Brain and Cognition Center).
