Position: Professor/Associate Professor in Arabic language and
culture, Department of Foreign Languages, University of Bergen, ref    
08/3192

The Department of Foreign Languages is seeking to appoint a Professor/
Associate Professor in Arabic language and culture. The successful
candidate must document high academic qualifications in Arabic
language and culture. The scholarly production may be in various    
fields
of Arabic studies: philology, linguistics, dialectology,
literature, religion, or history. A particular emphasis will be put   on
research in Arabic culture and history, including Islamic studies   or
philology. Knowledge of one or more Middle Eastern languages other    
than
Arabic will also be considered an advantage.

Arabic is taught at all levels up to Ph.D. It is also a component of   a
Bachelor program in Middle Eastern studies, which includes
specializations in history, religion, archaeology and social
anthropology. Arabic is thus part of a wider research and teaching
milieu of Middle Eastern and Islamic studies at Bergen, with a focus
inter alia on Muslim Africa and the Sudan, Levantine studies and    
Sufism.
The successful candidate is expected to participate in the   development
of this milieu.

The teaching language will normally be Norwegian. The successful
applicant must be able to teach in Norwegian or one of the other
Scandinavian languages within two years of his/her appointment.

If no applicant is qualified for a full professorship, the University
may consider appointing a candidate to the position of Associate
Professor. Applicants should state whether a position as Associate
Professor is of interest. Associate professors in permanent  
positions   in
Norway may apply for promotion to full professorship on the basis   of
personal qualifications.

Applications should be addressed to the Senate of the University of
Bergen and sent with confirmed copies of certificates and
testimonials to the Department of Foreign Languages, University of
Bergen, PO Box 7805, 5020 Bergen, Norway, by 26 April 2008.
Mark application: 08/3192
