STUART RAMSAY TOMPKINS VISITING PROFESSORSHIP
https://www.careers.ualberta.ca/Competition/A100146412/
Competition No.  -    A100146412
Closing Date  -    Dec 01, 2021

Applications are invited for the position of Stuart Ramsay Tompkins
Visiting Professor at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta,
Canada.  The Stuart Ramsay Tompkins endowment provides for the University
to invite scholars from the successor states of the Soviet Union to visit
the Departments of History, Classics, and Religion and Modern Languages and
Cultural Studies, so that “the body of the University and Canadians
generally shall have the benefit of scholarship” from this region.

This is a ten-month appointment to be held jointly in the History,
Classics, and Religion
<https://www.ualberta.ca/history-classics-religion/index.html> (HCR),
and Modern
Languages and Cultural Studies
<https://www.ualberta.ca/modern-languages-and-cultural-studies/index.html>
(MLCS,
home department for the appointee). The Visiting Professor will be expected
to be in residence from August 20, 2022 to June 20, 2023, and will be
expected to participate in the intellectual life of the sponsoring
departments.

The successful candidate will teach two one-term courses during the year in
the area of expertise (available to students in either department), and
give a minimum of two public lectures throughout the year. It is
anticipated that the appointee will hold regular consultations with
graduate students in related fields throughout the stay and serve as an
ambassador for the program upon returning home. We expect appointees to
remain on campus for the bulk of their stay here.

In accordance with the terms of the endowment, the successful candidate
should hold a doctorate or a candidate's degree in the history of the
Soviet successor states (any period), or in a related field. Visiting
Professors must have a permanent position at an academic institution in one
of the Soviet successor states, *to which they will return following their
visit*. The sponsoring departments are seeking candidates with a range of
interests in history and culture. Preference will be given to candidates
who can teach courses in the histories of the Soviet successor states; we
are particularly interested in courses dealing with cultural aspects that
would complement course offerings in MLCS as well as HCR.

Since all teaching and communication will be in English, it is imperative
that candidates possess near native fluency in spoken and written
English. *This
is a precondition to employment.*

*Please note that this position is restricted to current citizens of Soviet
successor states by the terms of the endowment.*

Return airfare will be covered by the Stuart Ramsay Tompkins endowment.
Compensation is $89,000 CDN for the ten-month period. The successful
candidate will also receive a research and travel allowance for use during
the tenure of the professorship.

Qualified individuals are invited to submit:

   -

   Letter of application/cover letter (no longer than one page)
   -

   CV
   -

   Copies of 1-2 representative publications (attach electronic copies)
   -

   Brief descriptions of possible survey courses in the area of expertise
