Description:

The School of Modern Languages of the Georgia Institute of Technology 
seeks an entrepreneurial, collaborative Chair to lead a dynamic and 
innovative faculty team dedicated to redefining the study of language and 
culture for the 21st century. The School is united around a vision of applied 
foreign language and cultural proficiency coupled with understanding of 
intercultural issues as crucial for careers in the global workplace. The ideal

connections between the humanities, sciences and technology, and

The School of Modern Languages, one of six schools in the Ivan Allen

Economics and Modern Languages (GEML); and International Affairs and 
Modern Languages (IAML) and is currently undertaking the design of a 
Master's program. Twenty-three tenure-track faculty members provide 
administrative and instructional support to an ever-growing number of majors, 
dual majors, and minors. Oversight of our academic programs requires a 
strong commitment to progressive education, international programs, and 
multi-disciplinary collaboration in the College and the Institute. Additional 
information pertaining to the School of Modern Languages is available at

academic, and personnel management; and experience in strategic planning 
and fund-raising.
