 a department chair. The Department intends to make a senior
 appointment at a competitive salary to an established
 scholar who can provide energetic leadership to an expanding
 program. Faculty of the Department teach Arabic, Hebrew,
 Persian, Turkish, and ancient Near Eastern languages and

 disciplines. Applicants, therefore, should possess a brad
 understanding of the diversity of the cultures of the Near

 a strong interdisciplinary or comparative interest are
 desirable. The duties of the new chair will include
