Arabic Literature and Culture
Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar (SFS-Q)
invites applications for an open-rank, core-track position in the
field of Arabic Literature and Culture starting in August 2013. Core
faculty positions are full-time positions which carry the job security
and commitment to academic freedom associated with tenure-track
appointments.
The position is part of a major faculty expansion funded by Qatar
Foundation with the triple aim of supporting SFS-Qatar’s enhanced
research mission, diversifying our curriculum, and growing student
numbers. This expansion includes four new positions in Arabic. The new
appointments are designed to make SFS-Qatar into the leading center
for Arabic for Heritage Learners, as well as a regional leader in
world-class research and teaching in Arabic and Arab literature.

Specialization is open, but the successful candidate is expected to
have strong training in both prose and poetic genres of Arabic
literature, modern and/or classical. The successful candidate will
have a completed Ph.D. in a literary discipline with a clearly
demonstrated specialty in Arabic. Experience with teaching Arabic will
be beneficial. Applicants of advanced rank must have substantial
research accomplishments and evidence of ambitious ongoing research
agendas; entry-level applicants must have exceptional promise of
future research productivity; an early track record of publications
will be an advantage. Applicants must be able to teach in English as
well as in Arabic. The Candidate is expected to offer undergraduate
courses, play a leading role in strengthening the program, and
complement the research and teaching interests of other faculty
members. The normal teaching load is 2-2.  Applications (consisting of
a letter of application, curriculum vitae, writing sample (of no more
than 30 pages) and three letters of reference) will be accepted online
at https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/2085; Review of
applications will start on October 30, and will continue until the
position is filled.

Qatar offers a diverse, safe and family-friendly environment. SFS-Q
provides free high-quality housing, and excellent compensation and
expatriate benefits packages. Faculty at SFS-Q receive generous
research support and support for conference travel, and benefit from
exceptional facilities. Faculty are eligible to apply for Qatar
National Priorities Research Program grants from the Qatar National
Research Fund, for up to $1,050,000 for three years. QNRF also
additional offers competitive research grants for early-career
scholars (for more information see http://www.qnrf.org/). For more
information on SFS-Q see http://qatar.sfs.georgetown.edu/.
Questions about the online application system should be directed to
Nick Starvaggi at nhs22 at georgetown.edu. Queries about the position
should be directed to Dr. James Reardon-Anderson, Senior Associate
Dean for Academic Affairs, at reardonj at georgetown.edu. Georgetown
