The Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at Rhodes College invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Chinese language and culture to begin August 2011. Ph.D. in hand by July 1, 2011. The research specialization is open to any genre and period, although a primary interest in modern Chinese literature, culture, and film studies is preferred. Native or near-native fluency in Mandarin Chinese and English are required. Successful candidates will be familiar with contemporary theories of second language acquisition, have a record of excellence in teaching Chinese at the American university/college level and have demonstrated scholarly promise. Teaching load: five courses per year. Candidates from backgrounds typically underrepresented in higher education are strongly encouraged to apply. As Rhodes continues to diversify its student body, we also seek candidates with experience working with students from different backgrounds. Applicants should send a letter of interest, a c.v., and a dossier with three letters of recommendation to Dr. Katheryn Wright, Chair, Modern Languages and Literatures, Rhodes College, 2000 North Parkway, Memphis, TN 38112. Review of completed applications will begin on December 1st and continue until the position is filled. Interviews will be conducted at the MLA conference in Los Angeles, CA. in January 2011.
