Russian Language Preceptor Search at Harvard

[Clancy, Steven]

The Department of Slavic Languages & Literatures at Harvard University seeks applications for up to two positions as Preceptor in Russian Language. The appointment is expected to begin on July 1, 2014 with teaching beginning in Fall Semester 2014. The preceptor(s) will participate in both team-teaching and independent-teaching assignments as part of the Russian Language Program at all levels and be involved with coordination and training of graduate student teaching fellows. The preceptor(s) will work with the Director of the Slavic Language Program to develop courses and materials in Russian language and assist with recruitment of students and expanding interest in the Russian language program. An interest in furthering broader Slavic Language Program goals is highly desirable, including an interest in second-language acquisition research and the establishment of a new Harvard eight-week summer study abroad program in Russia. Preceptorships at Harvard are for one year, renewable on a yearly basis for up to eight years, contingent upon performance, enrollments, curricular need, and divisional dean approval.  Interviews will be held at the AATSEEL conference in January.
The successful applicant should have experience in teaching Russian, language program and curriculum development, student advising and recruitment, materials design, teaching with technology, and have native or near-native proficiency in Russian and English.  A PhD or equivalent graduate training is preferred.
Please submit the following materials through the ARIeS portal (https://academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/5198).  Review of applications will begin December 9, 2013, and candidates are strongly encouraged to apply by that date.
1. Cover letter
2. Curriculum Vitae
3. A brief teaching statement and a sample of teaching materials and syllabi
4. Names and contact information of at least three references who will be submitting letters of recommendation on your behalf. (Letters should be submitted on the ARIeS portal and your application will be complete only when at least three letters have been submitted.)
