Subject: C.V. Starr-Middlebury School Jordan Director Job

Director of the C.V. Starr-Middlebury School in the Middle East - Jordan
 
Middlebury College seeks an energetic and innovative person to serve as Director of Middlebury’s C.V. Starr-Middlebury School in the Middle East – Jordan (Amman), which will be located at the University of Jordan.
 
The Director will administer, implement, and develop Middlebury’s academic program in Jordan at the University of Jordan, playing a central role in launching the second site within Middlebury’s School in the Middle East . The Director will work closely with the Arabic Department and the Office of International Programs & Off-Campus Study in consultation with the appropriate Middlebury faculty, programs and departments, the School in the Middle East Faculty Advisory Board, the Director of the Arabic School, and the Vice President for Language Schools, Schools Abroad, and Graduate Programs.  Because this is a new program, the Director will be required to develop and manage key relationships in a cooperative, strategic manner.
 
The School in the Middle East - Jordan opens in fall 2011, and the preferred start date for the Director will be July 1, 2011. The incoming director will be expected to come to Middlebury, VT, in July 2010 for training and the summer conference of all the directors of the C.V. Starr Middlebury Schools Abroad.
 
Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Arabic language, linguistics, literature, or area studies (or a related field), native or near-native language competency in both Arabic and English, as well as knowledge of both the Jordanian and U.S. academic systems. Administrative and study abroad experience strongly preferred. Computer literacy essential. Candidates with relevant teaching experience, knowledge of language pedagogy, and a demonstrated interest in second-language acquisition in the U.S. and Jordan, as well as strong interpersonal skills and leadership ability, will receive the strongest consideration. The successful candidate will spend the academic year in residence in Amman, where s/he will be responsible for overseeing the study abroad experience of approximately 10-20 students per semester, and will spend up to three weeks each summer in Middlebury, Vermont (while the Language Schools are in session), meeting with students, faculty, and staff.
