Subject:Georgetwon University Chair

Georgetown University wishes to make a rank-open appointment to chair
its Department of Arabic Language, Literature and Linguistics.  The
Department, which has long been known for its graduate and
undergraduate programs of Arabic language and linguistics, seeks to
increase its attention to Islamic studies and to various forms of
Arabic and Islamic literature.  To this end, the research focus of this
appointment will preferably be in the area of classical or medieval
Islamic thought as this is expressed in Arabic literary sources.  As
Chair of the Department of Arabic, this faculty member will work
collaboratively with Georgetown University faculty in such cognate
units as the Department of History (Middle East and North Africa
concentrations), the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies and the
Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding.  Additionally, outreach to
the rich scholarly resources available in the Washington D.C. area will
enhance the operations of the Department within the University.  The
search committee will begin its review of applications after 1 November
2002 and will continue to accept applications until the position is
filled.  A letter of application together with representative reprints,
curriculum vitae, and at least three letters of reference should be
sent to: Dr. Jane Dammen McAuliffe, Dean of the College, Georgetown
University, Box 571003, Washington, D.C. 20057-1003.  Georgetown is a
Catholic and Jesuit, student-centered research university and
candidates are encouraged to read its mission statement on the
university's website.  Georgetown University is an Affirmative
Action/Equal Opportunity Employer.
