The Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of Pittsburgh invites applications for two non-tenure-stream faculty positions at the rank of Lecturer to begin in August 2019, pending budgetary approval. In addition to undergraduate courses in Russian literature and culture, the position may require teaching Russian language at all levels (including content-based advanced courses) and general-education literature and culture courses in English (both large lecture-based courses and smaller discussion-oriented ones). Initial appointment is for one year, followed by a renewable three-year contract.
Ph.D. is required at the time of appointment. Native or near-native (or ACTFL superior-level) proficiency in English and Russian is required, and expertise in a second Slavic language and literature is desirable.
Candidates should submit, through https://apply.interfolio.com/55814, a letter of application, CV, research and teaching profiles, representative student teaching evaluations, representative syllabi, samples of scholarly writing (the length of one or two journal articles), and the names and contact information for three persons able to provide confidential professional letters of recommendation (Letters are not needed at this time, but names of recommenders are required). Please also provide a brief description of how your research, teaching or service demonstrates a commitment to diversity and inclusion.
Questions may be directed to Ms. Monika Losagio, Administrative Officer (412-624-5221, losagio@pitt.edu). Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
