*Visiting Professor of Arabic (Open Rank)*
Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar

The Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar (www.georgetown.edu/sfs/qatar 
  <http://www.georgetown.edu/sfs/qatar>) invites applications for a  
non-tenure-track professorship (open rank) teaching undergraduate  
language and possibly literature/culture courses in Modern Standard  
Arabic.  The contract period will be for three years with the  
possibility of renewal.

The successful candidate will have the ability to work with students  
at various levels as well as those with varied skills in Arabic,  
including native and heritage learners.  Candidates should have native  
or near-native fluency and teaching experience.  Applicants should be  
familiar with proficiency-oriented and content-based instruction and  
with the development of teaching materials.  The teaching load is  
three courses or nine credit hours per semester.  Candidates of all  
ranks are encouraged to apply.  Preferred candidates will have the  
Ph.D. in hand, a record of or potential for distinguished scholarly  
research, and experience in high-quality undergraduate teaching.

The School of Foreign Service in Qatar (SFS-Q), which is located in  
Education City in Doha, Qatar, is a branch of the Edmund A. Walsh  
School of Foreign Service and offers a four-year undergraduate  
curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service  
(BSFS) degree identical to that offered on the Main Campus of  
Georgetown University in Washington, DC. Each year, the SFS-Q admits a  
class of approximately 50 students, primarily from the Middle East,  
South and Southeast Asia, who take courses on and will graduate from  
the Doha campus. The students and facilities of the SFS-Q are  
outstanding. Compensation, terms of employment and professional  
opportunities for SFS-Q faculty are highly competitive. SFS-Q faculty  
join a community of scholars in Education City who teach in the other  
branch campuses of Northwestern University, Carnegie-Mellon  
University, Cornell University, Texas A&M University, and Virginia  
Commonwealth University.  Compensation at all ranks is highly  
competitive.

Applicants who have already achieved the rank of associate or full  
professor should send a curriculum vitae plus names and contact  
details of at least three references. Other applicants should submit a  
dossier that includes a curriculum vitae, three letters of  
recommendation, a writing sample, and evidence of teaching ability.  
Send all materials to:

position if filled. Georgetown University is an equal opportunity/ 
affirmative action employer. Women and minority candidates are  
especially encouraged to apply.
