Harvard University:  Polish Literature & Language

The Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at Harvard University
seeks to make an appointment (rank open) in Polish literature and language,
effective July 1, 2004. The position may be filled at the senior level
(tenured full professorship) or the junior level (assistant professor or
untenured associate professor). If at the junior level, the appointment
would typically be for an initial five-year term, with the possibility of
promotion to tenure.

Candidates may specialize in any area of Polish literature and culture,
including prose, poetry, film, theory, the performing arts, and visual
culture. Interdisciplinary interests in such fields as Central and East
European Studies (including knowledge of another Slavic language and
literature), Jewish Studies, Comparative Literature, Folklore and
Mythology, Art History, and Women's Studies will be valued.

The teaching load is four courses per year and tutorial work. Ph.D. (or
foreign equivalent) expected by the time of appointment and native or
near-native Polish and English are required. Applications are welcomed from
scholars at all levels who have demonstrated a commitment to both
publishing and teaching in the field of Polish studies.

Applicants are requested to send a letter detailing research and teaching
interests, a curriculum vitae, and a short writing sample. Three
confidential letters of recommendation should be sent as well. All
materials should be mailed by 14 November 2003 to:
