Subject: University of Erlangen-Nürnberg Job

University or Organization: University of Erlangen-Nürnberg 
Department: Classical World and Asian Cultures
Job Location: Erlangen, Germany 
Web Address: http://www.orientalistik.uni-erlangen.de/
Job Rank: Full Professor  

Specialty Areas: General Linguistics; Arabic Studies

Required Language(s): Arabic, Standard (arb)

Description:

The Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and School of Theology invites 
applications for a 

W3-Professorship in Arabic Studies

at the Department of Classical World and Asian Cultures, Institute of Middle 
Eastern and Far Eastern Languages and Cultures, to be occupied as soon as 
possible.

The Professor will be expected to adequately represent the area of Arabic 
Studies both as a teacher and researcher, the emphasis being on the field of 
Linguistics. The duties include full cooperation in counselling students of 
Oriental Studies, Oriental Studies and Social Sciences, and Middle Eastern 
Studies. It is our wish to integrate Arabic Studies more fully into the MA 
Linguistics programme. At the University, the W3-Professorship will work 
very closely with the Interdisciplinary Centers (in particular 'Dialects and 
Language Variation', 'Lexicography, Valency and Collocation Research') and 
with the Middle East Section at the Center for Area Studies. In addition to 
this, the successful candidate will be expected to cooperate with the Institute 
of Oriental Studies at Bamberg University as part of the Bavarian Oriental 
Conference ('Orientkolloquium'). For this reason, we expect the applicant to 
be familiar with interdisciplinary activities. 

Qualifications include a university degree, educational capabilities and 
outstanding academic research skills, customarily acquired by way of an 
excellent PhD, habilitation, or equivalent academic qualification. The 
successful candidate will have an excellent command of written and spoken 
Arabic (standard and dialect), a good working knowledge of a further Oriental 
language, and study or research experience in the Arab world. The applicant 
is expected to acquire sufficient knowledge of the German language within an 
acceptable time period.

The successful candidate will be expected to take over administrative duties, 
further develop courses of studies and attract external funding.

At the time of appointment the candidate must not be older than 52 years of 
age. The Ministry for Science, Research and Art may allow an exception in 
special cases, which has to be approved by the Ministry of Finance. This 
appointment will be made by the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg.

The University of Erlangen-Nürnberg is committed to a pro-family policy, and 
as an equal opportunity employer supports dual-career couples. We strongly 
encourage women to apply in an effort to increase a female representation in 
research and teaching.

The University of Erlangen-Nürnberg pursues a policy of intensive study 
support of its students and expects therefore that its teaching staff maintain 
a substantial student contact time by being present at the university.

All other qualifications being equal handicapped persons will be given priority. 

Application documents (curriculum vitae, photograph, list of publications and 
teaching activities, copies of degree certificates but no publications) and a 
brief statement of research interests must be sent in print and electronic 
format not later than September 23, 2011, to the application address and 
email address below.
