new position: Tenure-track Assistant Professor in Polish literature and culture at Harvard University

[Slavic Department]

The Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at Harvard University
seeks to appoint a tenure-track assistant professor in Polish literature
and culture. The appointment is expected to begin on July 1, 2015. The
successful candidate will be responsible for teaching at the undergraduate
and graduate levels, typically two courses per semester (including survey
courses, broadly conceived, in Polish literature). We are seeking an
energetic colleague who will be committed to building our program in
Polish studies, and who will share in the Department's administrative and
advising duties as well as participating broadly in the academic culture
of the university.

 
Candidates may specialize in any area of Polish literature and culture,
including prose, poetry, film, theory, the performing arts, and visual
culture. Expertise in Central and East European studies, including Jewish
studies, is welcome, as is knowledge of another Slavic language and
literature. We also welcome broader interdisciplinary interests in fields
such as folklore and mythology, comparative literature, art history,
intellectual history, political and social theory, or women's studies.

 
 
Qualifications: PhD in Polish Literature or related discipline required by
the time the appointment begins. Native or near-native Polish and fluency
in English are required, as is demonstrated excellence in teaching and
research.
