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