The Division of Linguistics and Multilingual Studies (LMS) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, offers a vibrant and interdisciplinary environment for the study of language in its structural, social, cognitive, and technological dimensions. We focus on multilingualism in an Asian/Southeast Asian context. We are internationally recognized for our research on multilingualism, language diversity, and the interface between linguistics and technology.
LMS is part of the School of Humanities (SoH), within NTU Singapore’s College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (CoHASS), where students and scholars collaborate across fields from philosophy to design to understand how people in Asia and beyond act in, shape, and make sense of a technological world. CoHASS aims to be Asia’s leading centre for innovative, interdisciplinary research and education in the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences.
LMS invites applications for faculty appointments at the rank of Associate Professor or Professor (with tenure). We welcome applications in any field of Linguistics. Applicants with demonstrated research experience in languages in the Asia-Pacific area, encompassing Southeast Asia, are especially encouraged to apply. Interest in contributing to NTU’s growing focus on digital humanities and AI-driven language research will be an advantage.
