The University of Oregon Russian and East European Studies Center and
Comparative Literature Program have launched two academic searches. 

The first is a local/regional search for a temporary, one-year Assistant
Professor of Russian language and literature. The person hired by this
search will cover courses through the academic year 2002/2003 while we
are conducting the second search, a national (and international) search
for a permanent, tenure-track Assistant Professor of Russian and
comparative literature.

Please feel free to circulate the following two descriptions to all
interested associates in Russian language, literature and culture, and
in comparative literature.

(1) TEMPORARY POSITION (2002/2003):

The University of Oregon Russian and East European Studies Center
invites applications for a one-year full-time assistant professorship in
Russian language and literature to begin September 16, 2002. This is a

given to candidates with Ph.D. in hand at the beginning of the
appointment.

(2) Tenure-track Assistant Professorship, beginning fall, 2003:

Position Description

The Program in Comparative Literature and the Russian and East European
Studies Center are seeking a full-time, tenure-track assistant professor
for a joint appointment between the two units. The position, Assistant
Professor of Russian and Comparative Literature, entails teaching five
courses per year between the units (typically four in Russian, one in
complit), a strong research agenda that will result in publications for
tenure in due course, and service obligations such as advising and
committee work. The faculty member will be expected to maintain an
active presence in both units, subject to agreement between the two
directors to keep his or her commitment to each at no more than half
time. Comparative Literature will be the home unit for purposes of
administration. The salary is nationally competitive.
