Lectureship in Hindi/Urdu Language

The Department of Middle Eastern and South Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Virginia invites applications for a two-thirds time, non-tenure track lectureship in Hindi and/or Urdu, to begin Fall of 2007. Teaching responsibilities include first- and second-year language classes in Hindi and/or Urdu.

This position carries a teaching load of two courses per semester. Prior experience teaching language classes at the university level is preferred.

Interested candidates should submit a cover letter, a current curriculum vitae, and the names of three references to dl2h@virginia.edu. Alternatively, materials may be sent to:
