    Description:

    The Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at Harvard University seeks to make an appointment at the rank of Assistant or non-tenured Associate Professor, effective 1 July 2005. Assistant Professor appointments are typically five years, with review for promotion to Associate Professor after four years. Possible review for promotion to tenured professorship occurs after seven years in the non-tenured ranks. We are especially interested in candidates whose expertise in Slavic linguistics (synchronic, historical, comparative, or philological) extends to related fields, such as language and culture, linguistics and gender, language politics, linguistics and poetics, or folklore and mythology.

    The teaching load is four courses per year. The appointed candidate will be responsible for teaching courses for undergraduate and graduate students concerned with the structure and history of Russian and comparative Slavic linguistics. Precise teaching responsibilities will be tailored to the specialties of the person hired, but they will include tutorial work as well as a range of courses, from freshman seminars to broadly oriented courses for undergraduate and graduate students, and specific topics courses and seminars for graduate students. Ph.D. (or foreign equivalent) is expected by the time of appointment and native or near-native Russian and English are required. Applicants are requested to send a letter detailing research and teaching interests, a curriculum vitae, and one short writing sample (25 pages maximum). Three confidential letters of recommendation should be sent as well. All materials should be mailed by the application deadline.
