linguistics with the main emphasis on Turkish, including Ottoman Turkish,
and a non-Oghuz Turkic language is necessary for the position. Attention
will also be paid to experience in teaching Turkic literatures as well as
social and historical backgrounds.
Equal care will be taken in scrutinizing teaching skills and academic
competence. Assessment of teaching ability will consider planning,
production of own teaching materials, execution, and evaluation of teaching
as well as thesis direction and examination. For more information, see
