Job Details

Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor/Professor in the African Languages Studies in the School of Languages & Literatures Recognising that diversity is important in achieving excellence, Rhodes University especially encourages South African members of underrepresented designated groups to apply. Spouses and Partners of existing staff members are also encouraged to apply.

Please note that this appointment will be made in line with the requirements of the Employment Equity Act of RSA and the University’s recruitment and selection policies and equity strategies. The initial focus will be on equity candidates.

In terms of Immigration Legislation (Act No. 13 of 2002 & Regulations), international staff members (non-SA citizens) have to comply with the provisions of the Act. This therefore means that the period of employment to non-SA citizens will be guided by the validity period of the work permit.  In line with legislation governing employment of foreign nationals, employment contracts will be offered on the basis that a development plan would be implemented for the transfer of skills to a South African resident. The onus is on candidates to ensure that they are in possession of a valid work permit before the commencement of employment at the University, failing which the employment with Rhodes University will be terminated.

Requirements:

The successful candidate should be in possession of a PhD degree with strong evidence of expertise in Applied Linguistics, especially Translation Studies (Theory and Practise) and IsiXhosa Second Language Teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

In addition, evidence of empirical research in the field resulting in successful output is required as the candidate will be expected to participate in research activities of the School of Languages and to contribute to its research profile. The candidate is expected to develop her/his own research as well as be part of collaborative research projects. She/he will also need to supervise students and act as their mentor at postgrad level. Three or more years’ experience of supervision and lecturing is therefore recommended. She/he has to also undertake administrative duties such as course-co-ordination and partake in the Faculty of Humanities committees and the university committees at large. 

For additional information on the requirements, please refer to the Academic Role Profile.

It is essential that prospective candidates read the role profile, further particulars relating to this post and ensure that all relevant documentation is submitted. 

VERY IMPORTANT: The system DOES NOT allow for multiple attachments.

If you have any questions or experiencing challenges on the system, please contact Ms Ntosh Gongqa on 046 603 8616 or jobs-red@ru.ac.za
