Fixed-term lecturer (assistant professor), Russian literature, U. of Sheffield, UK

[Neil Bermel]

Dear SEELANGS,

The Department of Russian and Slavonic Studies at the University of 
Sheffield is seeking to appoint a lecturer (North American equivalent: 
assistant professor) for a fixed term of just over a year, to provide 
cover during the research leave of Professor Evgeny Dobrenko.

An ability to teach nineteenth-century Russian literature is essential; 
an ability to teach twentieth-century and contemporary Russian 
literature will be an advantage. The successful applicant will be 
expected to undertake some Russian language teaching at appropriate 
undergraduate levels. In research, it is expected that the lecturer will 
have an established or developing profile in Russian nineteenth and/or 
twentieth-century literature or culture. Candidates should have 
completed, or be about to complete, a PhD in some aspect of nineteenth- 
or twentieth-century Russian literature or culture (or have equivalent 
qualifications). The post is tenable for the period 1 August 2008 to 30 
November 2009 at a salary of £33,779 per annum (roughly US $67,000).

For information about the post and how to apply, please see the 
particulars at: http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/jobs/academic.html (post 
R06129). Informal enquiries can be addressed to me at 
n.bermel at sheffield.ac.uk . The closing date for applications is 14 April 
2008.

Best regards,

Neil Bermel
