[Peter-John Thomas]

Dear Colleagues,

My earlier post does not include the link for submitting letters of recommendation.  That link is: search_russian at lawrence.edu

My apologies for the error.  The full job description, with correct links, is below.


    Lawrence University’s Russian Department invites applications for a full-time faculty position at the Assistant Professor level (tenure track) with an expected start date of September 1, 2015.  The successful applicant should demonstrate excellence in teaching both language and culture, and provide evidence of both scholarly accomplishment and a serious scholarly agenda.  We seek someone with native or near-native fluency in both Russian and English, and PhD in hand by August 2015. Field of specialization is open, but we are looking for someone comfortable teaching courses in both 19th and 20th century Russian literature and culture, and who will complement and add to existing course offerings.  Interest in contemporary Russian literature and culture is welcomed.  Applicants who could contribute to one or more of Lawrence’s Interdisciplinary Areas (e.g. Film Studies, Gender Studies, Ethnic Studies) should indicate this interest.
   
    Duties include teaching courses in the Russian language at all levels, as well as English-language courses on Russian culture; teaching load is two courses per trimester.  We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in differentiated instruction, including teaching students at different levels of proficiency in the same advanced course. Other duties include advising students, the redesign of the Russian Studies major, and the assessment of department curriculum.  All Lawrence faculty members are expected to participate periodically in Lawrence’s Freshman Studies program.
    
    Lawrence University, located in Appleton, Wisconsin, is a highly selective undergraduate liberal arts college and conservatory of music, known for the quality of both its classroom and tutorial education, research opportunities for undergraduates, and faculty of teacher/scholars and teacher/artists. Founded in 1847, Lawrence is a community of 1,500 intellectually curious students that bring a diversity of experience and thought from nearly every state and 50 countries outside the U.S.
 
    Lawrence has a strong commitment to increasing the diversity of its faculty — a commitment recently ratified by an all-faculty vote. We especially encourage qualified candidates from diverse communities constituted by race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation to apply to our position.
