Description:

Stockholm University has been offering academic courses in  Romance languages

in 1937. The undergraduate courses were in the 60s divided into four
languages: French, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish. This is still the
situation, as Italian is part of the department for Romance studies and
classics. Besides these subjects the department also includes Latin American
studies, Latin and Greek. The department admits about 350 undergraduate
students in Italian. The department's researchers are part of several
leading/potentially leading research areas within the Faculty: second language
acquisition, Romance linguistics, literary studies philology and
interpretation and translation. 

The staff of the Department amounts to about 80 employees.

Main responsibilities:
The professor is expected to conduct research, planning and management of
research and teaching and supervision, on graduate level as well as on
undergraduate level. The professor is also expected to participate in internal

professor is expected to initiate research projects, and actively pursue
external research funding, as well as to stay updated on developments of the
research subject and university education area.

In addition, the professor is expected to establish contacts outside of the
department, as well as representing Italian as a research and teaching area.
