POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT


Georgetown University welcomes applications and nominations for a
senior-level appointment to chair its Department of Arabic Language,
Literature and Linguistics.  The Department, which has long been known for
its graduate and undergraduate programs in Arabic language and linguistics,
seeks to increase its attention to various aspects of Arabic and Islamic
culture.  To this end, the research focus of this senior appointment will
be in the area of medieval Islamic thought as this is expressed in Arabic
literary sources.  As Chair of the Department of Arabic, this senior-level
faculty member will work collaboratively with Georgetown University faculty
in such cognate units as the Department of History (Middle East and North
Africa concentration), the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies and the
Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding.  Additionally, outreach to the
rich scholarly resources available in the Washington, DC area will enhance
the operations of the Department within the University.  The search
committee will begin its review of applications after December 10, 2000 and
will continue to accept applications until the position is filled.  A
letter of application together with representative reprints, curriculum
vitae, and at least three letters of reference should be sent to: Professor
Jane D. McAuliffe, Dean, Georgetown University, Box 571003, Washington, DC
20057-1003.   Georgetown is a Catholic and Jesuit, student-centered
research university and candidates are strongly recommended to read its
mission statement on the university's webpage.  Georgetown University is
AA/EOE.
