Subject:

Georgetown University wishes to make a rank-open appointment to chair 
its Department of Arabic Language, Literature and Linguistics. The 
Department, which has long been known for its graduate and undergraduate 
programs of Arabic language and linguistics, seeks to increase its 
attention to Islamic studies and to various forms of Arabic and Islamic 
literature. To this end, the research focus of this appointment will 
preferably be in the area of classical or medieval Islamic thought as 
this is expressed in Arabic literary sources. As Chair of the Department 
of Arabic, this faculty member will work collaboratively with Georgetown 
University faculty in such cognate units as the Department of History 
(Middle East and North Africa concentrations), the Center for 
Contemporary Arab Studies and the Center for Muslim-Christian 
Understanding. Additionally, outreach to the rich scholarly resources 
available in the Washington D.C. area will enhance the operations of the 
Department within the University. The search committee will begin its 
review of applications after 1 November 2002 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: Dr. Jane Dammen McAuliffe, 
Dean of the College, Georgetown University, Box 571003, Washington, D.C. 
20057-1003. Georgetown is a Catholic and Jesuit, student-centered 
research university and candidates are strongly encouraged to read its 
mission statement on the university’s website. Georgetown University is 
Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer.
