| Title | Berkeley Seeks Old Norse Specialist |
| Body | The Scandinavian Department at the University of California, Berkeley, invites applications for a tenure-track position in Old Norse, at either the Assistant or Associate level, with an employment start-date of July 1, 2011. We seek candidates with expertise in the field of Old Norse literature, broadly defined. As the members of the Scandinavian Department all work across disciplines, we require that candidates for this position also exhibit expertise in a secondary field. Historically, secondary fields among our faculty have included Folklore, Film, and 18th- and 19th-century Nordic literature; we would also welcome such fields as Art History, Cultural Studies, and Comparative Literature, to offer some examples. Strong ability in a modern mainland Nordic language (Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, or Swedish) is required; ability in modern Icelandic would be a welcome plus. The candidate is expected to contribute courses to the undergraduate and graduate programs in Scandinavian that will also appeal to students working in other academic fields. Demonstrated research excellence and teaching ability are required. Ph.D. is expected to be completed by spring of 2011. Please submit (either in hard copy or electronically) a letter of application, curriculum vitae, and a sample of scholarship . Three letters of recommendation should be submitted by recommenders under separate cover; applicants should refer their referees to the UC Berkeley Statement of Confidentiality at http://apo.chance.berkeley.edu/evalltr.html . Applications must be postmarked no later than December 1, 2010; early applications are welcome. Initial interviews will be conducted via Skype or telephone in January, 2011. UCB is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. The campus encourages applications from candidates who will contribute to diversity and equal opportunity in higher education.
