Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor/Professor in the African Languages Studies in the School of Languages & Literatures

Academic, Eastern Cape Grahamstown

R 523726 - R 937650

Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor/Professor in the African Languages Studies in the School of Languages & Literatures (Three-Year Contract)

Requirements:

The successful candidate must be in possession of a PhD degree in African Language Studies, Literature or related discipline with experience in teaching and researching in these disciplinary areas: IsiXhosa Literature and IsiXhosa Second Language Teaching.

Knowledge and experience of working with and teaching in isiXhosa is essential. The candidate needs to have experience of successful curriculum design and an ability to teach in a variety of settings which include small and big groups.

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

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

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.
