Chair in Translation Studies
Professional Field:
Academic
Expertise required: The School of Modern Languages at the University of Leicester is seeking a Professor of Translation Studies. Translation Studies is an emerging strength within the School, where undergraduate courses in Interpreting and Translation are well established across the different languages. The successful candidate will be expected to set up an MA programme in Translation Studies and contribute to the teaching and research culture of the School.
It is expected that they will have expertise and experience in Translation Studies as a professional set of competencies. He/she will also be internationally recognised as having a research specialism in specific and developing areas of Translation Studies such as, but not exclusively, the politics of cultural transfer, transmedial adaptation, and translation in the context of globalisation and the expansion of new media. Current research within the School of Modern Languages focuses around cultural identity, particularly in relation to spatial paradigms, and visual/textual cultures. We anticipate that the research area of the incoming Chair will complement and enhance an already dynamic research culture and strategy.
Qualifications sought:
Essential
:: A completed PhD in Translation Studies or a cognate literary field
:: Experience of teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students in lectures, tutorials, seminars and practical classes
:: An established international reputation for research excellence as demonstrated by publications (monographs and articles in leading journals)
Desirable
:: Other indicators of esteem such as invitations to lecture and examine especially at postgraduate level.
Employer:
School of Modern Languages, University of Leicester, http://www2.le.ac.uk/offices/personnel
Employer profile: The University of Leicester is a leading UK university that delivers high quality research and inspirational teaching. Leicester is the Times Higher Education’s University of the Year for 2008-9. The University is ranked 15th out of over 120 universities, Leicester features prominently amongst the world’s top 200 institutions.
Leicester is a University of over 21,000 students – almost half of whom study at postgraduate level. The University employs 3,500 staff and has an annual turnover of £224m
Leicester is a member of the 1994 Group of internationally renowned universities engaged in leading-edge research and high quality teaching. 87% of our research was deemed to be of international significance by the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise. Our Quality Related (QR) research income places us amongst the UK’s top-20 research intensive universities. A study by QS for the Times Higher Education magazine in October 2008 revealed the impact of Leicester’s research was high. Leicester enjoys the seventh highest level of research citations per academic amongst UK universities. According to the BBC, the “greatest cluster of world-leading researchers of any discipline in any university in the UK is [at] Leicester” – in our Department of Museum Studies.
The discovery of DNA Genetic Fingerprinting is our most famous achievement, but our world-class research is diverse and significant in its impact. For example, our recent work has demonstrated links between hormones and heart disease, discovered new techniques for lifting fingerprints from metals (for example bullets), highlighted that Renaissance England possessed unprecedented diverse and flourishing satire and comedy, and demonstrated that diet has a significant impact on the evolution of species.
The University of Leicester is, according to the Times newspaper, "an award winning institution attracting top academics". For five consecutive years, the University of Leicester has recorded some of the highest scores for student satisfaction in the National Student Survey. In the 2009 survey 91% of full-time students taught at Leicester were satisfied with their programme. The Sunday Times writes, “no multi-faculty university achieved better results than Leicester”. Teaching in 18 subject areas have been graded as "Excellent" by the Quality Assurance Agency – including 14 successive top scores. Leicester is also home to two prestigious national Centres for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (in Genetics and Geographical Information Science) and plays an important role in a third (Physics).
We are highly ranked: 15th out of over 120 universities by both the Guardian University Guide and the Times Good University Guide. We’re also amongst Britain’s top 20 institutions in the Independent’s Complete University Guide, which described Leicester as a “first class university”, and the Sunday Times University Guide. We are one of a handful of British universities to feature amongst the world's top 200 (151st in the Shanghai Jiao Tong Table and 177th in the Times Higher World University rankings 2008).
In October 2008 the University was named University of the Year 2008 by the Times Higher Education at their annual awards. The judges cited Leicester’s ability to “evidence commitment to high quality, a belief in the synergy of teaching and research and a conviction that higher education is a power for good”.
Founded as a University College in 1921 and granted a Royal Charter in 1957, the University has an estate of 232 acres that includes a fifteen-acre Botanic Garden, an arboretum and a range of residences in the suburbs that are set in attractive gardens.
The University of Leicester holds the Athena Swan Bronze Award which recognises excellence in Science, Engineering and Technology (SET). The award specifically reflects a commitment to the advancement and promotion of the careers of women in SET. The University recognises that in order to attract and retain talented people it is necessary to ensure that the different approaches and needs of both men and women are equally valued. http://www.athenaswan.org.uk/html/athena-swan/

Employer profile: The new forms of multimodal communication emerging in this age of globalisation have an increasing impact on the translation industry. Language service providers are looking to recruit professionals who have not only linguistic expertise and the technical know-how for working with dedicated software, but who can also easily adapt their knowledge to respond to a variety of translation scenarios. These include localising websites and Flash animations, localising games, and adapting DVD content for audiences with other languages and for the Deaf and hard-ofhearing.
eCoLoMedia aims to prepare professional translators and translation students to respond effectively to this demand by providing training materials, delivered in the form of translation kits, which cover a variety of multimedia source files including videos, games and websites incorporating Flash animations. The translation kits will also include translations of the sources in a variety of formats – subtitling, voice-over and dubbing files as well as localised versions of website and games– together with pedagogical and methodological guidelines to help users adapt these resources to their own learning and/or teaching scenarios. All material will be freely available from the project website.
eCoLoMedia builds on the achievements of the successful eCoLoRe and eCoLoTrain projects, which offer training materials in translation memory, software localisation, project management, terminology and ICT for translators.

Call for applications: 10 Postdoctoral Fellowships for academic year 2008/2009
Professional Field:
Academic
Expertise required: The fellowships are intended above all for scholars of history, literature, philology, political philosophy, religion and sociology from the Middle East who want to carry out their research projects in connection with the Berlin program.
Fellows gain the opportunity to pursue research projects of their choice within the framework of one of the above-mentioned research fields and in relation to the program 'Europe in the Middle East - the Middle East in Europe'.
In Berlin, they will be integrated into a university or non-university research institute. The working language of the research program is English.
Qualifications sought:
The Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences, the Fritz Thyssen Foundation and the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin invite scholars to apply for ten post-doctoral fellowships for the research program
EUROPE IN THE MIDDLE EAST - THE MIDDLE EAST IN EUROPE
This research program seeks to rethink key concepts and premises that link and divide Europe and the Middle East.
The project draws on the international expertise of scholars
in and outside of Germany and is embedded in university and extra-university research institutions in Berlin.
'Europe in the Middle East - The Middle East in Europe' supports historical-critical philology, rigorous engagement with the literatures of the Middle East and their histories, the social history of cities and the study of Middle Eastern political and philosophical thought (Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and secular) as central fields of research not only for area or cultural studies, but also for European intellectual history and other academic disciplines. The program explores modernity as a historical space and conceptual frame. The program puts forward three programmatic ideas: 1) supporting research that demonstrates the rich and complex historical legacies and entanglements between Europe and the Middle East; 2) reexamining genealogical notions of mythical 'beginnings', 'origins', and 'purity'
in relation to culture and society; and 3) rethinking key concepts of a shared modernity in light of contemporary cultural, social, and political entanglements that supersede identity discourses as well as national, cultural or regional canons and epistemologies that were established in the nineteenth century.
The program 'Europe in the Middle East - the Middle East in Europe' is funded by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation.
It supports and builds upon the following interconnected research fields:
CITIES COMPARED: COSMOPOLITANISM IN THE MEDITERRANEAN
AND ADJACENT REGIONS
This research group is directed by Ulrike Freitag and Nora Lafi, both of the Centre for Modern Oriental Studies, Berlin. It contributes to the debate on cosmopolitanism and civil society from the historical experience of conviviality and socio-cultural, ethnic, and religious differences in the cities around the Mediterranean;
ISLAMIC DISCOURSE CONTESTED: MIDDLE EASTERN AND EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVES
This research group is directed by Gudrun Kraemer, Institute for Islamic Studies, Freie Universitaet Berlin. It analyzes modern Middle Eastern thought and discourses in the framework of theories of multiple or reflexive modernities;
PERSPECTIVES ON THE QUR'AN: NEGOTIATING DIFFERENT VIEWS OF A SHARED HISTORY
This research group is directed by Angelika Neuwirth, Seminar for Arabic Studies, Freie Universitaet Berlin, and Stefan Wild, Universitaet Bonn. It situates the foundational text of Islam within the religious landscape of late antiquity and combines a historicization of its genesis with an analysis of its reception and perception in Europe and the Middle East;
TRAVELLING TRADITIONS: COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVES ON NEAR EASTERN LITERATURES
This research group is directed by Friederike Pannewick, Centrum fuer Nah- und Mitteloststudien, Philipps-Universitaet Marburg, and Samah Selim, IREMAM, Aix-en-Provence. It reassesses literary entanglements and processes of canonization between Europe and the Middle East.
TRADITION AND THE CRITIQUE OF MODERNITY: SECULARISM, FUNDAMENTALISM AND RELIGION FROM MIDDLE EASTERN PERSPECTIVES
Is a special forum, directed by Amnon Raz-Krakotzkin, Ben Gurion University that attempts to rethink key concepts of modernity like secularity, tradition, or religion in the context of the experiences, interpretations, and critiques of Jews, Arabs, and Muslims in the Middle East and in Europe.

For further information on the program 'Europe in the Middle East - the Middle East in Europe' and for detailed information on the research fields, please see:
http://www.eume-berlin.de
Expertise required: The fellowships are intended above all for scholars of history, literature, philology, political philosophy, religion and sociology from the Middle East who want to carry out their research projects in connection with the Berlin program.
Fellows gain the opportunity to pursue research projects of their choice within the framework of one of the above-mentioned research fields and in relation to the program 'Europe in the Middle East - the Middle East in Europe'.
In Berlin, they will be integrated into a university or non-university research institute. The working language of the research program is English.
Qualifications sought:
The Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences, the Fritz Thyssen Foundation and the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin invite scholars to apply for ten post-doctoral fellowships for the research program
EUROPE IN THE MIDDLE EAST - THE MIDDLE EAST IN EUROPE
This research program seeks to rethink key concepts and premises that link and divide Europe and the Middle East.
The project draws on the international expertise of scholars
in and outside of Germany and is embedded in university and extra-university research institutions in Berlin.
'Europe in the Middle East - The Middle East in Europe' supports historical-critical philology, rigorous engagement with the literatures of the Middle East and their histories, the social history of cities and the study of Middle Eastern political and philosophical thought (Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and secular) as central fields of research not only for area or cultural studies, but also for European intellectual history and other academic disciplines. The program explores modernity as a historical space and conceptual frame. The program puts forward three programmatic ideas: 1) supporting research that demonstrates the rich and complex historical legacies and entanglements between Europe and the Middle East; 2) reexamining genealogical notions of mythical 'beginnings', 'origins', and 'purity'
in relation to culture and society; and 3) rethinking key concepts of a shared modernity in light of contemporary cultural, social, and political entanglements that supersede identity discourses as well as national, cultural or regional canons and epistemologies that were established in the nineteenth century.
The program 'Europe in the Middle East - the Middle East in Europe' is funded by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation.
It supports and builds upon the following interconnected research fields:
CITIES COMPARED: COSMOPOLITANISM IN THE MEDITERRANEAN
AND ADJACENT REGIONS
This research group is directed by Ulrike Freitag and Nora Lafi, both of the Centre for Modern Oriental Studies, Berlin. It contributes to the debate on cosmopolitanism and civil society from the historical experience of conviviality and socio-cultural, ethnic, and religious differences in the cities around the Mediterranean;
ISLAMIC DISCOURSE CONTESTED: MIDDLE EASTERN AND EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVES
This research group is directed by Gudrun Kraemer, Institute for Islamic Studies, Freie Universitaet Berlin. It analyzes modern Middle Eastern thought and discourses in the framework of theories of multiple or reflexive modernities;
PERSPECTIVES ON THE QUR'AN: NEGOTIATING DIFFERENT VIEWS OF A SHARED HISTORY
This research group is directed by Angelika Neuwirth, Seminar for Arabic Studies, Freie Universitaet Berlin, and Stefan Wild, Universitaet Bonn. It situates the foundational text of Islam within the religious landscape of late antiquity and combines a historicization of its genesis with an analysis of its reception and perception in Europe and the Middle East;
TRAVELLING TRADITIONS: COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVES ON NEAR EASTERN LITERATURES
This research group is directed by Friederike Pannewick, Centrum fuer Nah- und Mitteloststudien, Philipps-Universitaet Marburg, and Samah Selim, IREMAM, Aix-en-Provence. It reassesses literary entanglements and processes of canonization between Europe and the Middle East.
TRADITION AND THE CRITIQUE OF MODERNITY: SECULARISM, FUNDAMENTALISM AND RELIGION FROM MIDDLE EASTERN PERSPECTIVES
Is a special forum, directed by Amnon Raz-Krakotzkin, Ben Gurion University that attempts to rethink key concepts of modernity like secularity, tradition, or religion in the context of the experiences, interpretations, and critiques of Jews, Arabs, and Muslims in the Middle East and in Europe.

Employer:
Centre for Translation Studies, University of Leeds, http://www.leeds.ac.uk (click on Jobs)
Employer profile: The University of Leeds is acclaimed world-wide for the quality of its teaching and research. One of the largest universities in the UK, Leeds is also one of the most popular among students applying for undergraduate courses. An emphasis on innovative research and investment in high-quality facilities and first-rate infrastructure means that no fewer than 35 departments are rated internationally or nationally 'excellent'.
Its size and international reputation enables the University to offer one of the widest ranges of academic courses in the UK. During the current academic year just under 28,000 students are attached to 700 different first-degree programmes and 400 postgraduate degree programmes. A further 28,000 men and women are enrolled on short courses with the University.
Leeds is now among the top ten universities for research in the UK and is internationally acknowledged as a centre of excellence in a wide range of academic and professional disciplines. Its broad research and skills base and superb facilities attract interest from major multinationals and small local businesses alike. Many of its research initiatives cross traditional subject boundaries and Leeds currently promotes projects through 40 inter-disciplinary centres and seven research schools.
As a result, the University attracts more industrial funding than any other in the UK. It also invests its own resources in helping organisations turn university research into world-class products and services.
From textile industries' invention of the permanent wave for Wella in the 1930s to the development, in the 1990s, of alarms using 'directional sound' to guide people to emergency exits, the University has always been at the forefront of innovation.
