FULL TIME LECTURER POSITION: TURKISH STUDIES

The Center for European Studies (CES) at the University of Florida is
conducting a search for a full-time non-tenure track position in Turkish
Studies. Primary duties will include teaching first and/or second year
Turkish language and field specific area studies courses, in addition to
assisting in the development of a comprehensive Turkish Studies Program.

Program building tasks may include community outreach activities,
enhancing collaboration with the existing on-campus Turkish student
organization, and investigating study abroad options among others. The
field of specialization is open and can include any aspect of
contemporary Turkish language, literature, culture, history, or
politics.

Given the location of this position within the Center for European
Studies, however, a clear focus on Turkey�s relationship to
Europe is strongly preferred. Native or near-native fluency in Turkish
and English, as well as previous experience teaching Turkish language
are required. Candidates with Ph.D. in hand preferred, but those who are
A.B.D. will be considered. The successful candidate will be expected to
participate fully in the activities of the CES.

Teaching load: because of the substantial program building
responsibilities associated with this position the expected teaching
load is two courses per semester.

pages) and three letters of recommendation to: Chair, Turkish Studies
