The University of Texas at Austin invites scholars to apply for a  
tenure-track position as Assistant Professor of Modern Arabic  
Literature and Culture in the Department of Middle Eastern Studies.  
The position begins on September 1, 2008. Position funding is pending  
budgetary approval.

Applicants must have a PhD in Arabic Literature or related field in  
hand at the time of appointment, distinguished proficiency in Arabic,  
and evidence of excellence in teaching at the college level. The  
candidate must demonstrate a record of and agenda for research  
contributions to the field of Arabic Studies.

Preference will be given to scholars whose research and teaching  
demonstrate an interest in comparative or critical approaches that  
connect Arabic literature with other literatures and/or with other  
areas within Arabic Studies.

The successful applicant will be expected to maintain a strong record  
of research and publications and engage in service to the Department,  
University, and profession.  The Department places a high premium on  
collegiality and maintaining a diverse and hospitable working  
environment. The applicant will be expected to work with colleagues  
in the routine governance of the Department and in program building.  
The Department attracts talented graduate students from an  
international pool and promising undergraduates, thus the applicant  
will need to develop and teach undergraduate and graduate courses  
that attract student interest, in both Arabic and English, as well as  
supervise and mentor student research.

Application review begins November 15, 2007. Please send a letter of  
interest, curriculum vitae, copies of publications and teaching  
evaluations, and three letters of reference to Dr. Kristen Brustad,  
Chair, Modern Arabic Literature Search Committee, Department of  
Middle Eastern Studies, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin,  
Texas, 78712.

The University of Texas at Austin is an Affirmative Action/Equal  
Opportunity Employer. A background check will be conducted on the  
applicant selected.
