_________________________________________________________________

An Associate Professorship attached to the Department of East
European and Oriental Studies is vacant from January 1st, 2005.

In addition to the advertised position of Associate Professor in
Hindi, the following positions are attached to South East Asia: 1
professorship in Sanskrit (vacant), one professorship in Urdu and one
associate professorship in South Asian area studies.

The appointee will be required to teach, supervise and participate in
exams at all levels, in addition to administrative duties according
to existing rules, and in cooperation with the Department's leader
and board.  Within his/her normal working duties and academic
competence, the appointee may also be obliged to undertake duties
outside the Department.

The minimum requirement for appointment is a completed doctoral
degree or equivalent academic qualifications in Hindi ( literature
and/or language).  A high level of proficiency in Hindi is required.
Academic qualifications or research experience in another Indian
language, preferably a Northwestern Indian language will be an
advantage. The candidate's work must demonstrate knowledge of
conditions in present day India.

He/she will be responsible for the teaching of Hindi at all levels,
and must be prepared to co-operate with the Urdu teacher in the
Hindi-Urdu elementary course.

The appointee will cooperate closely with the other academic staff
in the field of Asian languages and cultures and the Bachelor Program
for Asian and African Studies (AAS)  to develop a South Asia area
studies program on  the bachelor, master and Ph.d. levels.

The minimum requirement for appointment to a permanent academic
position as a Associate Professor is a completed doctoral degree or
the equivalent.  If no applicant presents the necessary
qualifications, a temporary appointment for a maximum of 3 years
might be offered, provided that the applicant may qualify within the
time allowed as stated in section 5(1) of the Regulations issued
pursuant to the Civil Service Act.

In accordance with current rules, the main emphasis will be on the
applicant's publications (a maximum of 10).  The applicant must state
which publication or part of these he/she wishes to be given special
consideration. Account will also be taken of research management and
participation in research projects, if sufficient documentary
evidence of this activity is provided.

Basic pedagogical competence will be required from all applicants and
must be documented. If the applicant chosen for the position does not
possess the necessary pedagogical qualifications,  he/she must obtain
these within 2 years.

Knowledge of the Norwegian language will be regarded as an
advantage.  On the appointment of a candidate who is not fluent in
Norwegian, Swedish or Danish, the appointee will be expected to learn
enough Norwegian in the course of two years to be able to participate
actively in all functions the position may involve.  Applicants who
do not have Norwegian, Danish or Swedish as their mother tongue or
equivalent level, must master English fluently (spoken and written).
If the applicant does not master Norwegian or another Scandinavian
language, weight will also be placed upon his/her experience in
communuicating his area of expertise to the general public in
English. (Documentation of this may be included in the submitted
publications.)

Qualified applicants will be called for an interview and a trial lecture.

The University of Oslo wishes to employ more women in academic
positions.  Women are therefore encouraged to apply.

duties" : http://www.hf.uio.no/personal/1011.html
