Slavic Language Coordinator Position - Senior Lecturer

[Slavic Department]

*“The University of Chicago is distinctive in many respects, but perhaps in
none more so than its singular commitment to rigorous inquiry that demands
multiple and often competing perspectives. The nature of questions being
asked and the perspectives being engaged are often a function of the
diversity of experiences and outlooks of those participating”.* To read
