Description:

The Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies at the University of Waterloo is 
accepting applications for the position of Lecturer (limited term appointment of 
two years, possibly renewable for a two-year period) in Russian with a 
specialization in language teaching and acquisition. The successful candidate 
will preferably have a PhD in hand by the time the appointment begins on 1 
September 2012. Duties include teaching at the undergraduate level and a 
leading role in program development (specifically language studies for 
elementary, intermediate, and advanced learners of Russian, and cultural 
studies courses taught in English). An ability and interest in online course 
development is an asset as is the ability to teach other Slavic languages.  

Russian studies at the University of Waterloo are undergoing a period of 
redevelopment following the retirement of core faculty members. The 
Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies also offers programs leading to the 
BA, MA, and PhD in German and courses in Dutch, Croatian, and Polish, 
applied language studies, and visual studies. The University of Waterloo, rated 
the most innovative university in Canada for many years running, is located in 
one of the fastest growing regions of the country. 

Salary range commensurate with qualifications and experience. The closing date 
for applications is 30 November 2011. Applications, including a cover letter, 
curriculum vitae, evidence of teaching ability and innovation, and letters from 
three referees, should be sent in electronic format only directly to Dr. James M. 
Skidmore at the email address below.

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian citizens 
and permanent residents will be given priority. The University of Waterloo 
encourages applications from all qualified individuals, including women, 
members of visible minorities, native peoples, and persons with disabilities.
