The field of specialization is open.   Applicants will be expected to teach
three courses during the first year, including one survey-level class in

are particularly interested in applicants whose interests complement those
of faculty teaching in the Russian Program, and who could offer courses in
areas currently not covered.  See the course descriptions at

for a current list of courses offered.  Applicants must have received the
PhD (or terminal degree) by August of 2010 and no earlier than within the
past five years. Applicants should clearly indicate in their cover letters
that they are applying to the Program in Russian.  For questions about
Russian at Lawrence, feel free to email Prof. Peter Thomas
