Descripción
The School of Languages, Literatures and Cultural Studies welcomes applications from candidates with excellent research and teaching potential for the position of Assistant Professor in Applied Intercultural Communication and Latin American Studies.
The successful candidate will be based in the Centre for Global Intercultural Communications, which was founded with funding provided by the Government of Ireland’s Human Capital Initiative (HCI). They will join a team of academic and professional colleagues at the Centre and will have responsibility for the development and delivery of a suite of short courses for the broader public on Latin America, and a range of modules for a part-time certificate, postgraduate diploma and Master’s degree that will accommodate the needs of those seeking to update their education and to upskill and re-skill, including entrepreneurs seeking to do business with Latin America. The successful candidate will also be a member of the Department of Hispanic Studies and will contribute to undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and supervision, particularly (but not exclusively) in relation to business related taught programmes involving Hispanic Studies. It is envisaged that it will be a notional 60/40 split between Applied Intercultural Communications (60% of this post) and Hispanic Studies (40%), with a flexibility that guarantees the success of the postgraduate programmes in Applied Intercultural Communications as a key priority in the School.
Post status: 5 Year Fixed-Term Contract, Tenure Track
Requisitos
Expertise will be required in contemporary Latin American cultures, histories and societies, and Spanish language, with specific expertise in applied intercultural communication, ideally for business, industry and enterprise purposes. Applications from candidates with a specialisation in one or more of the following will be particularly welcome: Cross-cultural management; Business Ethics and Latin American Resources (Environmental Humanities); EU-Latin America relations, with specific interest in developing Irish-Latin American networks and partnerships. Applicants with one or more regional specialisations including (but not limited to) any of the following are also particularly welcome: the Pacific Alliance (Mexico-Colombia-Chile and Peru), Mercosur (members and associates) and Caribbean, Latin American and Irish/EU relations, which could include CARICOM and Latin American/European connections. We particularly welcome regional expertise which is not limited to a single country, and not necessarily to a single language, but Spanish is a core requirement.
