NJES Literary editor
Seeking new literature editor for NJES
The Nordic Journal of English Studies is seeking a new literature editor in 2026. The position is currently held by Virginia Langum, and the linguistics editor is Terry Walker. Terry Walker will stay on as linguistics editor. We invite applications for the position as literature editor
from interested members and supporters of the Nordic Association of English Studies (NAES), as well as other relevant parties.
The Nordic Journal of English Studies (NJES) is affiliated with the NAES. NJES was created in 2002 in order to offer a forum for Nordic scholars in English language and literature and to promote the field of English studies in the Nordic countries. It has been an online, open access
journal since 2008.
As of 2023, the journal is published by Publicera, an open-access platform for scholarly journals. Publicera is managed by the National Library of Sweden. https://publicera.kb.se/njes/index
The literature editor fields submissions, assigns reviewers and coordinates the substantive editing process. Copy editing is currently handled by the linguistics editor. The literature editor also works with editors of literature special issues. NJES has an editorial board that the editors can approach for peer review or suggestions of peer reviewers if submissions are
relevant to their fields.
Please send your CV and a one page letter outlining your interest and relevant experience to
Anna Swärdh (anna.swardh@english.su.se) by 31 August 2025.
Applications will be examined by the Executive Board of the NAES, which will also make a recommendation to the NAES board for a decision with regard to the appointment of the new editor.
We wish to express our deepest gratitude to Virginia for her exceptional service to the journal and to English Studies in the Nordic countries.
For the Executive Board,
Dominic Rainsford, Jason Finch, Anthony Johnson, and Anna Swärdh

PhD position in Stavanger
https://www.jobbnorge.no/en/available-jobs/job/276009/phd-fellowship-in-linguistics
The PhD Fellow will be affiliated with the project North American Norwegian Tonal Accents in Contact (NANTiC) and the FLUENT research group (Fleirspråkleg utvikling og endring i nyare tid).
The North American Norwegian Tonal Accents in Contact project investigates prosody, i.e., suprasegmental phonology, in heritage language Norwegian in the United States. A heritage language is a language that is naturally acquired at home or in the local community, but is not the dominant language of the larger national society. The project focuses on tonal accents in the North American diaspora of Norwegian speakers, which have been in contact with English for over a hundred years. Accordingly, the project has two primary objectives. The first is to examine the consequences of English-Norwegian language contact on North American Norwegian tonal accents and connected language structures. The second is to expand research on the relationship between morphological processes and prosody, especially for heritage languages and the languages they are in contact with.
The PhD project must be in the fields of phonology, morphology, or morphophonology, and be connected to one or both project objectives. Applicants must propose a project and submit a project proposal.
