The American University of Beirut
The Department of Arabic and Near Eastern Languages

The Department of Arabic and Near Eastern Languages seeks applicants  
in the fields of Modern Arabic Literature and Qur’anic Studies and  
Islamic Mysticism (tasawwuf).

For the Modern Arabic literature position, applicants should be well  
versed in both Arab and Western classical heritages, as well as in  
modern literary theories. Applicants must be able to teach, in Arabic,  
service courses in Islamic theology and modern Arabic thought, and  
Arabic morphology and syntax to native speakers of Arabic.

For the Qur’anic Studies and Islamic Mysticism (tasawwuf) position,  
preference will be given to candidates who can teach advanced courses  
in both fields. Knowledge of Persian language and literature would be  
an asset. Applicants must be able to teach, in Arabic, service courses  
in Islamic theology and philosophy and Arabic morphology and syntax to  
native speakers of Arabic. Solid knowledge of the Arabic heritage and  
training in Western methodologies are essential.

Positions are normally at the Assistant Professor level to begin  
September 15, 2010, but appointments at higher ranks may also be  
considered. Appointments are for an initial period of four years. The  
usual teaching load is 3 courses. The language of instruction in this  
department (and only in this department) is classical Arabic, but  
mastery of English is an essential requirement. A good knowledge of  
French and/or German is highly desirable.

and arrange for three letters of reference to be sent to:
