The MHR Visiting Professor position is meant to bring an international scholar from South Asia to the United States.
The South Asian Studies Program at Brandeis University is seeking applicants for a Madeleine Haas Russell Visiting Professor in Non-Western Studies over the 2013-2014 academic year. We are particularly interested in hosting a visiting professor from Pakistan or Bangladesh, whose discipline could be almost any in the social sciences or humanities, including history, politics, art, women’s or gender studies, anthropology, sociology, literature, economics, public health, religious studies, etc. The visiting professor would teach two courses at Brandeis in his or her areas of interest and expertise, and would be in residence for either one or two semesters. A salary and travel expenses are provided. Brandeis University is located in Waltham, Massachusetts in the suburbs of Boston.
To apply, please send by email to Sarah Lamb (lamb@brandeis.edu, Professor of Anthropology and Co-Chair of the South Asian Studies Program) a CV and a brief statement of interest including a list of teaching interests. If available, please also send a few sample course syllabi and teaching evaluations.
A small committee of faculty will review the materials in late November and early December.
Please feel free to contact Professor Sarah Lamb (lamb@brandeis.edu) with any questions.
Thanks,
