Deadline: August 1, 2021 but Open Until Filled

The Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures at The Ohio State University invites applications for the position of Senior Lecturer in Russian culture, beginning August 2021. While area of specialization is open, we are seeking a dynamic and talented instructor of Russian language and culture who can contribute to department strengths in any of the following areas: film (Russian and East European), popular culture, gender, literature, migration studies, and translation.

Fluency in Russian and English is required. Proficiency in another Slavic language is desired. The successful candidate will teach 22-24 credit hours per year, both in English and in Russian (lower level language courses are 4). The final course load will depend on service assignments which may include curriculum development, undergraduate advising, student organization mentorship, among others. This is an initial three-year appointment, as there is potential to turn into an assistant professor of teaching position.

To recognize the role of education in shaping a more just and diverse world, we will give priority to candidates whose efforts in teaching, scholarship, and service include experience with NGOs, attention to marginalized populations in the region of study and work that addresses representations and diverse experiences in terms of race, ethnicity, class, gender and sexual identity, religion, and disability.
