results in improved performance on language tasks relevant to the

achievement in Arabic language and linguistics, and a strong record of
publication. The center is seeking people who will play a leading  
role in
the strategic direction of CASL and will participate in multiple  
research
projects in their field. Candidates' research and publications should
demonstrate the ability to conduct complex, interdisciplinary  
research and
to work collaboratively with a range of institutions and researchers.
Appointments to CASL are as a research faculty member of the  
University of
Maryland. Exceptional candidates with national standing may be
