The University of Oregon's Comparative Literature Department invites applications for a tenure-track position in Translation Studies to begin September 16, 2015.  A Ph.D. in Comparative Literature or other relevant field is required by the time of appointment.  Specialization in at least one language other than English is also required.  We seek applicants with demonstrated potential for outstanding research and teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels, with preference given to candidates whose literary and linguistic expertise complements present strengths at Oregon.  Consideration will be limited to comparatists whose scholarship engages substantially and deliberately with translation and theories of translation as they bear upon one or  more of the following: (1) literary history, with an emphasis on interactions between languages and epochs, (2) philosophy of language, understood broadly to include philology and/or the study of sign systems, (3) inter-media aesthetics, and (4) transnational studies.  The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to a growing interest in translation within an interdepartmental framework.  We specifically invite applications from candidates with proven ability to contribute to the department's efforts to serve the needs of students from diverse backgrounds.

Interested persons should apply online to the University of Oregon COMPARATIVE LITERATURE SEARCH at https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/4324.
