Tenure-stream position in Russian (Colgate University)

[Ian Helfant]

Assistant Professor of Russian Language and Culture (Colgate University)

Colgate University seeks an Assistant Professor of Russian for a
tenure-track position beginning fall semester 2011. The candidate is
expected to have completed a PhD in Russian language and literature or
cultural studies prior to or shortly after the date of hire. Fluency in
Russian and English is a given, along with a dynamic teaching presence in
language and non-language courses. While specialization is open, ongoing
scholarship in Slavic, East European, or Eurasian culture is essential. The
successful candidate will join a strongly interdisciplinary and
collaborative Russian Studies program with colleagues in Literature,
Anthropology, History, Geography, and Political Science. Teaching duties
will involve five courses a year. These will typically include all levels of
language, literature and/or culture, and at least one course within
Colgate's Liberal Arts Core Curriculum. Please submit a letter of
application and C.V., along with any supporting materials, via
www.academicjobsonline.org. Also arrange for the submission of three letters
of recommendation, at least one of which should address language teaching.
Review of applications will begin November 10, 2010. Colgate is an
Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. Developing and sustaining a
diverse faculty, staff, and student body further the University's
educational mission. Applicants with dual-career considerations can find
postings of other employment opportunities at Colgate and at other
