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

Lecturer in Arabic, beginning in Fall 2004.

Responsibilities within the Lauder Institute Program will include
planning and teaching the Arabic segment of the language program,
involving 1-2 class sections per semester, as well as designing
curriculum, organizing periodic seminars and mini-immersion experiences
during the course of the academic year and assisting in the overall
administration of the Arabic Track program.  Within the Department of
Asian and Middle Eastern Studies the person appointed person will
become part of the cadre of Arabic teaching faculty, with particular
responsibility for the offering of courses 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 Director of Language Programs at the
Lauder Institute.

The Joseph H. Lauder Institute of Mgmt and  International Studies

Candidates will be expected to have 3-5 years of experience in teaching
upper-level language courses in Arabic, ideally with a focus in the
world of public affairs and business.  Native or near-native competence
in standard Arabic and at least one colloquial 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.
