Dear Colleagues,

Please bring this notice to the attention of potential candidates (please
note that this announcement is for "senior instructors"--it is different
from the one I circulated earlier, which sought "teaching associates").

Thank you.

Senior Instructors

Job Description

Senior instructors are needed for Beloit College's summer intensive Russian
program (June 11,  - August 11, 2000).  In 2000, we expect to offer 1st-,
2nd-, 3rd-, and 4th year Russian. Each level, with an average enrollment of
six to eight students, has one instructor and one teaching associate who
share teaching and evaluation responsibilities with a lead instructor.
Instructors collaborate with each other and the CLS Director on curriculum,
syllabi, and instruction.  Duties include classroom teaching and
evaluation, and assistance with organizing cultural activities for the
program. Instructors will be expected to live on-campus (single occupancy),
eat meals with the students at lunch in the dining commons, and be available
to students evenings and weekends. Beloit College is located off of
Interstate 90 in Beloit, WI, a city of 35,000 on the Wisconsin-Illinois
border. Beloit is an hour from Madison, an hour and a quarter from
Milwaukee, an hour and a half from O'Hare airport, and two hours from
downtown Chicago.

Minimum qualifications include an M.A. in Russian (Ph.D. or ABD preferred),
teaching experience (preferably in an immersion environment), superior
proficiency in Russian and advanced proficiency in English.

Compensation: stipend, housing, and meals. Employment is contingent upon new
employees providing documents verifying U.S. citizenship or, for
non-citizens, documents verifying legal permission to work in the United
States.

Send letter of application, curriculum vitae, and two letters of
recommendation (letters should speak to the candidate's classroom teaching)
to Dr. Terance Bigalke, Center for Language Studies, Beloit College, 700
College Street, Beloit WI 53511, 608/363-2277.  Applications will be
accepted until the positions are filled, but review will begin April 21,
2000.  AA/EEO Employer.
