Introduction
NORTH-WEST UNIVERSITY (VANDERBIJLPARK CAMPUS)
FACULTY/ DIVISION: FACULTY OF EDUCATION
POSITION NUMBER: V002706
VACANCY: nGAP LECTURER IN SESOTHO EDUCATION
EMPLOYMENT TYPE: PERMANENT
The North-West University invites applications from suitably qualified candidates for the following positions, which form part of the New Generation of Academics Programme (nGAP) of the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET).
nGAP employees will participate in a six-year developmental programme in terms of which they will be employed on a permanent full-time basis at the NWU under the University's normal conditions of service.
They will be expected to register for and complete their Doctoral studies, participate successfully in the DHET's Staffing South Africa's Universities Development Programme, and work under the supervision of an appointed mentor.
In order to achieve the developmental aims of the programme, nGAP employees will have a reduced teaching load over the first four years of their appointment.
Preference will be given to applications from black (African, Coloured and Indian) and/or female candidates, with a target that at least 80% of applicants should be appointed from these groups.
PURPOSE OF THE POSITION:
The nGAP represents the sixth phase of the Staffing South African Universities Framework (SSAUF), which the Minister of Higher Education and Training approved at the start of 2015 as an initiative to improve the academic staffing capacity of South African universities.
The programme takes as a starting point the urgent and challenging imperative to recruit, support and retain black (African, Coloured and Indian) and female academic staff to address their serious underrepresentation at all levels in the sector. It will be a key vehicle to contribute to the transformation of the academic staff profile in disciplinary areas of greatest need.
