The Department of Russian and Slavonic Studies, graded 5*A in the 2001 RAE,
is recognised nationally and internationally as one of the UK’s leading

Department now seeks to develop further its research and teaching excellence
through the appointment of a new professor. The successful candidate will
have an established international reputation in any field of Russian and
Slavonic Studies, and will be able to provide outstanding leadership in
research. He or she will also be expected to contribute to teaching on
undergraduate and postgraduate courses, and to the supervision of doctoral
students. In due course the person appointed will be expected to act as Head
of Department, and/or as Chair of the School of Modern Languages and
Linguistics.

DEPARTMENT OF RUSSIAN AND SLAVONIC STUDIES
LECTURER (U.S. EQUIVALENT: ASSISTANT PROFESSOR)

This post in a 5*A-rated department is available from 1 September 2006 (or
as soon as possible thereafter).  Applicants should have, or be about to
complete, a PhD in a relevant area, and proven teaching ability and research
experience. An ability to teach Russian language at all levels is essential;
an ability to teach Polish language will be an advantage. In research, it is
expected that the lecturer will have an established or developing profile in
an area in which the Department is strong, and to which it attaches
strategic importance.
