Polish Studies Program, pending budgetary approval. The appointment
will be made at the rank of Teaching Assistant Professor and will
begin in the fall of 2025. Duties include: (i) teaching Beginning,

undergraduate level; and (ii) non-teaching duties include oversight of
Polish cultural and outreach activities in accordance with programming
goals identified by the Department of Slavic Languages and
Literatures. Scholarly publication and active participation in
national professional associations is encouraged but is not a
prerequisite for appointment or renewal.

A PhD in Slavic or a related field (preferably with a specialization
in Polish second-language acquisition) is required by the appointment
start date, as are native or ACTFL superior proficiency in Polish and
English and teaching experience at the university level (preferably at
an Anglophone institution). Proficiency in other Central European

Candidates should submit a letter of application, CV, teaching
portfolio, and a brief description of how their research, teaching,
and service demonstrate a commitment to diversity and inclusion.  They
should also provide the names and contact information for three
persons able to provide confidential professional letters of

but we do need the names of the recommenders). Questions may be
