lecturer at 75-80% time in Hindi or Hindi/Urdu. Duties will consist 
of teaching elementary and intermediate level Hindi or Hindi/Urdu 
language courses spread over the academic year.] If the candidate 
selected to the pool in the Language Program has additional areas of

that area of expertise. The campus is especially interested in 
candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the 
academic community through their teaching and other assigned duties.
