The School
of Modern Languages in
the Ivan Allen College at
the Georgia Institute of Technology announces an opening for a tenure-track
appointment as Assistant Professor of Chinese, to begin August 2005. The appointment is
contingent upon final budget approval. We seek candidates with a
PhD in Chinese language, literature, or cultural studies, with native or
near-native Chinese fluency, with outstanding scholarly potential and excellent teaching
skills, and with strong interest in developing a summer abroad program in
Chinese. Experience with the application of technology to
language learning plus a strong interest in cross-cultural education and
content-based or applied-language learning are highly desired; experience in
creating computer-assisted instructional materials is a plus.
The School
of Modern Languages
emphasizes interactive learning and an interdisciplinary approach to language,
literature, and intercultural studies. We offer two joint majors: in
International Affairs and Modern Languages and in Global Economics and Modern
Languages. The new position in Chinese will enable us to add Chinese to the two
joint major tracks. Opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration with
faculty in the other language groups in Modern
Languages as well as faculty from other Schools in the Ivan Allen College
are strongly encouraged.
