The Professor will be expected to adequately represent the area of Arabic Studies both as a teacher and researcher, the emphasis being on the field of Linguistics. The duties include full cooperation in counselling students of Oriental Studies, Oriental Studies and Social Sciences, and Middle Eastern Studies. It is our wish to integrate Arabic Studies more fully into the MA Linguistics programme. At the University, the W3-Professorship will work very closely with the Interdisciplinary Centers (in particular 'Dialects and Language Variation', 'Lexicography, Valency and Collocation Research') and with the Middle East Section at the Center for Area Studies. In addition to this, the successful candidate will be expected to cooperate with the Institute of Oriental Studies at Bamberg University as part of the Bavarian Oriental Conference ('Orientkolloquium'). For this reason, we expect the applicant to be familiar with interdisciplinary activities. Qualifications include a university degree, educational capabilities and outstanding academic research skills, customarily acquired by way of an excellent PhD, habilitation, or equivalent academic qualification. The successful candidate will have an excellent command of written and spoken Arabic (standard and dialect), a good working knowledge of a further Oriental language, and study or research experience in the Arab world. The applicant is expected to acquire sufficient knowledge of the German language within an acceptable time period. The successful candidate will be expected to take over administrative duties, further develop courses of studies and attract external funding. At the time of appointment the candidate must not be older than 52 years of age. The Ministry for Science, Research and Art may allow an exception in special cases, which has to be approved by the Ministry of Finance. This appointment will be made by the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg. The University of Erlangen-Nürnberg is committed to a pro-family policy, and as an equal opportunity employer supports dual-career couples. We strongly encourage women to apply in an effort to increase a female representation in research and teaching. The University of Erlangen-Nürnberg pursues a policy of intensive study support of its students and expects therefore that its teaching staff maintain a substantial student contact time by being present at the university. All other qualifications being equal handicapped persons will be given priority.
