job opening Russian literature/culture studies at University of Tromso

[Nesset Tore]

Dear seelangers,

Some of you may have seen the announcement of the open rank Russian literature/culture studies position at the University of Tromso, Norway, but as faculty members Laura and I would like to add some relevant information.

  *   The full advertisement is here: http://www.jobbnorge.no/job.aspx?jobid=83318 (click on the flag icon in the upper right corner to find the English version)
  *   This is a tenured position. Notice that in Norway you can get tenured positions right out of grad school. In order to be qualified for the position, all you need is a PhD dissertation, but additional publications will make you more competitive.
  *   The position covers both Russian literature and cultural studies, so applicants with expertise/publications in both fields will be competitive.
  *   The deadline is JUNE 21. Notice that the application procedure is somewhat cumbersome, so it is a good idea to get started early.

Without getting too patriotic, let us point out that Norway was ranked #1 on the UN Human Development Index in 2010 and 2011, and that Tromso has a nice university with faculty members from all over the world.

If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!

Tore Nesset and Laura Janda
