Assistant Professor or Associate Professor

Literatures and Cultures of South Asia

The Department of Asian languages and Literatures in the College

of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, is

expanding its initiative in both the teaching and research of Asian

languages and literature. In coordination with other academic units

at the University, such as Cultural Studies and Comparative

Literature, Women's Studies, and History, we are exploring new

intellectual configurations in the study of Asia. We are interested in

candidates who show an enthusiasm for working in interdisciplinary

environments, with innovative approaches to the study of literature,

cultural texts, and theory.

 

We are searching for a full-time, nine-month faculty member with

expertise in the literary and cultural analysis of South Asian texts,

broadly defined; we encourage applications from scholars working

in all periods and approaches, including those beyond traditional

literary studies. This position may be made at the rank of assistant

professor (tenure-track) or associate professor (with tenure). A

Ph.D. (or foreign equivalent) in South Asian literatures or related

field is required by the start date of the appointment. Advanced

ABD may be considered. Review of applications will begin on

November 1, 2002; the position will remain open until filled.

 

Please send a letter of application, curriculum vitae, and three
