Tenure-track position announcement

[Katya Hokanson]

Dear Colleagues,

I wanted to make you aware of a tenure-track position in Russian and
Comparative Literature at the University of Oregon that begins Sept.
2001.  Please let colleagues and students know, as there has been a
glitch in our advertising plans and some ads were accidentally not
placed as planned.

Here are the particulars:

The Program in Comparative Literature at the University of Oregon invites
applications for a full-time, tenure-track assistant professorship in
Russian and comparative literature to begin in September 2001.  We seek a
teacher and scholar for whom Russian literature and culture is a major
interest among others, and who is committed to a genuinely comparative
program of teaching and research.  Native or near-native fluency in Russian
is expected; a strong secondary interest in East European literature and
culture would be an asset.  Undergraduate and graduate teaching will be in
both the Program in Comparative Literature and the Russian and East
European Studies Center.

The oldest department of comparative literature on the west coast and the
home of the journal Comparative Literature, the program at Oregon includes
six appointed faculty and about forty participating faculty.  A
historically distinguished Ph.D. program serves about thirty students; the
flourishing undergraduate major attracts fifty or more.  Established in
1968, the Russian and East European Studies Center is an interdisciplinary
program with twenty faculty from thirteen departments.  In faculty research
and in REESC undergraduate and graduate degrees and certificates, heavy
emphasis is placed on languages, literatures, and cultures of Russia and
Eastern Europe.  Library holdings in Russian literature and culture are
outstanding.

Candidates should submit letters of application, vitae, and dossiers by
November 17, 2000 to: Professor Kenneth Calhoon, Chair of Search Committee,
Program in Comparative Literature, University of Oregon, Eugene, OR
97403-5242.  Enclose self-addressed postcard for acknowledgment.  The
University of Oregon is an Equal Opportunity / Affirmative Action employer.
