Associate Director

Program in South Asian and Middle Eastern Studies

University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

The Program in South Asian and Middle Eastern Studies (PSAMES) seeks  
an Associate Director who can take an active, creative role in  
planning and implementing our expanding activities as the newest US/ 
ED Title VI Undergraduate Area Studies National Resource Center at  
the University of Illinois (funding was received for Middle Eastern  
Studies). Continuing to feature on-campus and visiting speakers,  
colloquia, conferences, and jointly planned activities with other  
campus units and organizations, we will also focus on K-12  
educational outreach, working with other Area Studies Centers to  
provide curricula and teacher training as well as workshops for  
business and professional groups.

The Associate Director will assume primary responsibility for  
outreach activities, reporting to the Director and working with other  
Area Center Associate Directors. S/he will be responsible for  
implementing outreach; spearheading development of web-based learning  
materials; and editing a newsletter. The Director expects the  
Associate Director to play an active role in envisioning, planning,  
and implementing program activities; assist with grant writing and  
evaluation; provide administrative support for the Director and, in  
the Director’s absence, assume responsibility for administrative  
operations.

Applicants must have at least an MA in a social science or humanities  
field, preferably in Middle East, South Asian or Islamic studies.  
Applicants must have excellent English writing and speaking skills,  
strong organizational ability, a creative and interdisciplinary  
orientation, and excellent computer skills. Experience working with  
teachers and diverse community groups is strongly desirable.  
Knowledge of a Middle Eastern or South Asian language is considered  
an asset. **

This is a full-time academic professional position (non-tenure  
system), salary commensurate with qualifications and experience.  
Starting date is as soon as possible after the search closes.  
Interested individuals should submit a resume, short writing sample,  
and three letters of reference to: Sondra Bowman, Program in South
