Senior Research Associate and Director

The Executive Committee of the South Asia Language Resource Center is
seeking to hire a Senior Research Associate/Director. The Director is
responsible for ensuring the effective operation of SALRC, one of
fifteen Language Resource Centers nationwide funded by the U.S.
Department of Education.  Along with its sister centers, this Center
exists to improve the capacity to teach and learn foreign languages
effectively.  The Director is charged with program planning and
execution, policy making, fund raising, grants administration, office
management, and staff supervision. The position involves the exercise
of independent judgment and requires a mature, experienced academic
administrator to competently manage the multiple responsibilities
associated with the position. Candidates should hold a Master's or
higher degree and be familiar with a modern South Asian language.
Preference will be given to candidates with a thorough academic
knowledge of South Asian studies and with a Ph.D. degree. Candidates
should possess proven organizational abilities and experience in
similar large-scale, complex programs as well as excellent
intellectual, administrative, and human relations skills.  Effective
oral and written communication skills and computer literacy are
essential.  Candidates must demonstrate the ability to conceptualize
and implement major initiatives such as program planning and
preparation of grant proposals.  The ability to lead in a manner
conducive to positive morale in a large, collaborative program is also
important. Proficiency in South Asian linguistics or language pedagogy
and grant writing experience is highly desirable. The position is
either a half-time or full-time appointment contingent upon renewed
external funding for SALRC.

Applicants must upload a cover letter, CV, and names of three
references to the University’s academic website:
