Harvard University: Slavic Linguistics


The Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at Harvard University
seeks to make an appointment at the rank of Assistant or non-tenured
Associate Professor, effective 1 July 2005.  Assistant Professor
appointments are typically five years, with review for promotion to
Associate Professor after four years.  Possible review for promotion to
tenured professorship occurs after seven years in the non-tenured ranks.
We are especially interested in candidates whose expertise in Slavic
linguistics (synchronic, historical, comparative, or philological) extends
to related fields, such as language and culture, linguistics and gender,
language politics, linguistics and poetics, or folklore and mythology.

The teaching load is four courses per year.  The appointed candidate will
be responsible for teaching courses for undergraduate and graduate
students concerned with the structure and history of Russian and
comparative Slavic linguistics. Precise teaching responsibilities will be
tailored to the specialties of the person hired, but they will include
tutorial work as well as a range of courses, from freshman seminars to
broadly oriented courses for undergraduate and graduate students, and
specific topics courses and seminars for graduate students.

Ph.D. (or foreign equivalent) is expected by the time of appointment and
native or near-native Russian and English are required.  Applicants are
requested to send a letter detailing research and teaching interests, a
curriculum vitae, and one short writing sample (25 pages maximum).  Three
confidential letters of recommendation should be sent as well.  All
materials should be mailed by 1 November 2004 to
