Visiting Assistant Professor of Russian, Lawrence University

[Peter John Thomas]

Lawrence University invites applications for a Visiting Assistant Professor of Russian in the Lawrence Postdoctoral Fellows Program for a two-year appointment beginning September 2012.  Pending administrative approval, the position will become tenure-track in September 2014, and the Visiting Assistant Professor would become a candidate for tenure track status.  The successful applicant should demonstrate excellence in teaching, evidence of research promise, native or near-native fluency in both Russian and English, and PhD in hand by August 2012.  Field of specialization is open, but we are looking for a generalist who would complement existing offerings in a thriving and growing Russian program.

Duties include teaching courses  in Russian language at all levels, as well as English-language courses on Russian literature, culture, and perhaps film; teaching load is two courses per trimester.  The new faculty member will also contribute to the redesign and assessment of curriculum in Russian Studies, and participate in Lawrence's Freshman Studies program.  Applicants who could contribute to one or more of Lawrence's Interdisciplinary Areas (e.g. Film Studies, Gender Studies, Ethnic Studies) should indicate this interest.

Applicants should send a letter of interest (including teaching and research statements), curriculum vitae, and three letters of recommendation to:
