About us
Linguistics is a dynamic education and research environment at the Centre for Languages and Literature at Lund University. Phonetics is a central part of the linguistics environment and is world leading in research on prosody with a neurolinguistic focus. Education in linguistics includes undergraduate courses, master's level courses and doctoral courses. The research environment is complemented by a number of externally financed researchers and a number of doctoral students. Since the division is relatively small, teaching staff in linguistics are also expected to perform administrative tasks and, if necessary, assist other subjects at the Centre for Languages and Literature. All research personnel are also encouraged to apply for externally funded research projects to further strengthen the research environment.

The current position involves a maximum of 70% teaching and a minimum of 20% research and professional development. Duties may also include administration.
