The Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies in the School of

Responsibilities within the Lauder Institute will include teaching the 
Arabic segment of the language program, involving 2-3 classes per year, 
as well as organizing several seminars and mini-immersion experiences 
during the course of the academic year and assisting in the overall 
administration of the program.  Within the Department of Asian and 
Middle Eastern Studies the person appointed will be a member of the 
Arabic teaching faculty, with particular responsibility for the offering 
of courses (2 per year) within the program of the College of General 
Studies (the evening and continuing education program).  All these 
activities will be under the joint supervision of the senior professor 
in the Arabic program in the Department of Asian and Middle Eastern 
Studies and the Associate Director of Language and Cultural Perspectives

experience in teaching upper-level language courses in Arabic, ideally 
with a focus on the world of public affairs and business.  Native or

dialect is required.  A broad knowledge of the culture, society and 
business environment of one or more region of the Arab world is also 
required.  A wide range of experience in business and business culture, 
and/or experience in teaching courses involving business or language for 
professional use is highly desirable.  The successful candidate will 
also need to show a strong interest and experience in curriculum design 
and the development of course materials for upper-level language courses 
for professional use.

This post is a renewable 9-month, career-track appointment.  The salary 
is competitive and commensurate with experience.  Letters of reference
