<P>The Department of Near Eastern Studies at the University of Arizona invites
applications for a tenure-track position in Turkish Studies at the Assistant
Professor level, to begin in the fall semester 2009. A Ph.D. upon date of hire
is strongly preferred, a demonstrated potential for excellence in research and
teaching is required, but the area of specialization is open. Teaching
requirements in the Turkish Studies program will include advanced Turkish
language and courses about modern Turkish culture, literature and society. These
courses would complement existing courses in Ottoman history, the
anthropological study of Turkey, Turkish language and linguistics, and would
expand departmental offerings. The successful candidate will teach upper level
courses in the Turkish language, courses in his or her field (or
interdisciplinary courses) at the graduate and undergraduate levels, and
participate in general education/social science or humanities courses as needed.
Competence in Ottoman Turkish will be regarded as an asset. The department seeks
to hire a candidate who is able to work with diverse students and colleagues and
one who is familiar with a variety of teaching methods. She/he will play a key
role in developing a coherent Turkish studies program at the University of
Arizona. We encourage early submission of materials to arrange for preliminary
telephone interviews and/or preliminary interviews at the November MESA meeting
in Washington, D.C. Review of application materials will begin October 15, 2008
and continue until the position is filled.</P>

<P>As an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer, the University of
Arizona recognizes the power of a diverse community and encourages applications
from individuals with varied experiences, perspectives and backgrounds. The
University of Arizona is an EEO/AA - M/W/D/V Employer. The position is
contingent upon availability of funding.</P>
