Deadline for Applications: Ongoing Until Filled
The University of Pittsburgh seeks two experienced Russian language instructors to lead our intensive 4th-year Russian courses this summer.
- Summer Language Institute, June 1 – July 27, 2018. Location = University of Pittsburgh
- Pitt’s Project GO-Advanced Program, June 17 – August 10, 2018. Location = Narva College, Narva, Estonia
Candidates must have a Master’s degree or higher in philology, linguistics, language teaching or a closely related field; possess native proficiency in Russian; and have experience designing upper-level Russian language curriculum and teaching Russian at the university level to non-native speakers. Strong preference will go to candidates who have successfully taught in intensive language programs, have OPI certification (or training), and can articulate the methodologies they will employ to advance students’ proficiency levels across all modalities. In both programs, courses run from 9am – 3pm daily Monday – Friday for eight weeks; in addition to language classes, instructors will be expected to contribute to cultural programming.
To be considered, please submit a cover letter, CV, and at least two professional references to dawn.seckler@pitt.edu.
