Dear colleagues: please post, circulate and distribute:

The Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University  
of Pennsylvania invites applications for the position of Lecturer in  
Foreign Languages and Russian Language Coordinator, beginning fall  
2011.  This is a full-time position which entails an initial one-year  
appointment that may be renewed for two more years upon satisfactory  
performance and then subsequent possibility of reappointment in three- 
year increments.  Teaching load is five courses per year.  The ideal  
candidate should hold a Ph.D. or equivalent, and must be able to teach  
all levels of Russian language and to coordinate and supervise other  
instructors.  We are looking for a dedicated, creative teacher who has  
significant experience with American students.  Complete fluency in  
Russian and English is a necessity; as is knowledge of current  
pedagogical theory and practice, and competence with instructional  
technology.  Applicants should apply online at http://facultysearches.provost.upenn.edu/applicants/Central?quickFind=50825 
  and submit a cover letter, CV, and contact information for a minimum  
of three individuals whom they have asked to provide a recommendation  
letter.  Applications will be reviewed beginning November 30, 2010.   
Initial interviews will be conducted at the MLA this coming January;  
finalists will be invited to campus.  The University of Pennsylvania  
is an AA/EO Employer.  Women and minority candidates are especially  
encouraged to apply.

Thanks,

kp
