Professor of the History of Islamic Civilization

The Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations in the  
School of Arts and Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania,  
anticipates making a full-time, tenured appointment at the rank of  
Full or Associate Professor in the field of the history of Islamic  
civilization (in the pre-modern period, roughly equivalent to the  
5th-15th centuries CE). The Department is seeking a scholar whose  
research and teaching interests include a broad temporal range  
covering those regions within which Islam was the predominant faith  
system.  The position is intended for scholars whose training is in  
the discipline of history and who possess a high level of competence  
in the reading and interpretation of texts in Arabic and preferably  
either or both Persian or Turkish. Cooperation in both research and  
teaching with colleagues in other departments and disciplines  
connected with the study of Islam and the Middle East will also be a  
desideratum with regard to the selection of the holder of this post.  
Teaching obligations will include the offering of courses at both the  
undergraduate and graduate levels.  They will include more  
generalized surveys and specialized courses based on readings of  
texts in the original language(s).

The review of applications will begin on November 21st, 2005, and the  
process will continue until the post is filled.

Complete dossiers, including an updated curriculum vitae, sample  
publications, and a statement of research interests should be sent to:

Professor Roger Allen, Chair,
Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations,
University of Pennsylvania, 847 Williams Hall,
Philadelphia, PA 19104-6305

The University of Pennsylvania is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative  
Action Employer.  Women and minority candidates are encouraged to apply.
