SCHOOL OF ORIENTAL AND AFRICAN STUDIES

Professor of Arabic
Department of Languages & Cultures of the Near & Middle East
Professorial scale: £49,280 - £72,318 p.a inclusive of London Allowance

Vacancy No: 100212

We propose to appoint a Professor of Arabic from September 2007.

SOAS is one of the leading research and teaching institutions for  
Arabic in the world. The Department possesses enviable strength in  
the fields of Modern and Classical Arabic language, literature and  
culture, in addition to eminence in other ancient and modern Near and  
Middle Eastern subjects. The Department also houses the Centre of  
Islamic Studies, which is responsible for producing the Journal of  
Quranic Studies.

The department achieved a grade of 22 out of 24 in the most recent  
Teaching Quality Audit and a grade of 5 in the latest Research  
Assessment Exercise. In 2005 the School’s excellence in the teaching  
of African, Asian and Middle Eastern languages was recognised by the  
establishment of a HEFCE-funded Centre of Excellence in Teaching and  
Learning (CETL) for Languages of the Wider World.

You will be expected to have a research and publication record of  
high international standing in one or more of the areas of Arabic  
language, literature and culture, a record of high quality teaching  
and research supervision, and a proven record of academic leadership  
in promoting the subject area.

You will also be expected to play a central role in the development  
of an expanding programme of teaching and research in Arabic as it  
enters a period of renewal, and to contribute to teaching across the  
range of language, literature and culture. You will be active in  
generating research income and continue to conduct outstanding  
research that leads to publication.

You can obtain further information about SOAS and the Department of  
the Languages and Cultures of the Near and Middle East from the Head  
of the Department, Professor George Hewitt (gh2 at soas.ac.uk).
