Endowed Chair in Jewish Studies

The University of Louisville invites applications for an established scholar and distinguished teacher, at the rank of Associate or Full Professor, for an endowed chair in Jewish Studies, to be housed in its Humanities Program.  While the area of specialization is open, we seek a colleague with active interdisciplinary research and teaching agendas that reflect the inherently intercultural and/or transnational nature of the Jewish experience.  In addition, the position necessitates strong investment in graduate and undergraduate teaching, program administration, and community engagement.  Salary, teaching load, and research support are competitive.  The position begins July 1, 2014.  Ph.D. and significant publication record are required.  Interested applicants must submit an online application and upload a letter of interest, a CV and the following documents under the “Other Document” category as one document – (1) a description of research (250-500 words), (2) a description of teaching methods (250-500 words) (3) one to two writing samples (maximum 10,000 words total) and (4) two syllabi (graduate and undergraduate) to https://highereddecisions.com/uofl/current_vacancies.asp, Job Opening #UL106.  No mail or e-mail submissions will be accepted.  For queries, contact Ms. Shari Gater shari.gater@louisville.edu.  Applications received by January 6, 2014 will receive priority consideration.  The University of Louisville is an Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity, and Americans with Disabilities Employer, which is committed to diversity and, in that spirit, seeks applications from a broad variety of candidates.
