| Title | Job Posting: Visiting Director of Language Center, Cyprus |
| Body | The University of Cyprus offers the post of Visiting Director of the Language Center. The contract will be made for one or two years during which time this post will be advertised as a full position. While an application of the successful visitor for the full position will of course be considered very favourably if both sides get along well, there will be made no promises of any sorts. The full position will be an academic appointment with a renewable contract at the level of Associate or Full Professor, depending on qualifications. This means that the successful applicant must hold a PhD in a relevant discipline. The same requirement holds for the current advertisement for a Visiting Director of the Language Center. The starting date will be as soon as preferably, ideally in January or February of 2005. Among the expected tasks to be accomplished is setting up the Language Center in a dynamic environment: the University of Cyprus, the only public university in the Republic of Cyprus, is currently in its thirteenth year of existence and the Language Center has recently been established as an autonomous institution within the Faculty of Humanities alongside the Departments of English Studies, French and Modern Languages, and Turkish Studies. The University of Cyprus is also currently building a new campus which will eventually house the entire institution. One of the future facilities will be a state-of-the-art Learning Center where the Computer Center, the Library, and the Language Center will find a home. Another prime task of te Visiting Director will thus be to supervise and engage in the preparations for construction, incl. all infrastructure. Further tasks include course management (within the University of Cyprus and outside to the public), training and managing language teachers (incl. hiring, promoting, and educating further), teaching one class per semester (in one of the three departments of the Faculty of Humanities), and others. The languages currently taught at the University of Cyprus alongside Greek (which is independent of the Language Center) are Turkish, English, French, German, Spanish, and Italian, with Russian starting next academic year. Working knowledge of Greek is expected of the full appointment of Director of the Language Center, so that the Visitor ideally has some command of Greek or is willing and able to achieve this within his or her appointment. The appointment to Visiting Director of the Language Center will be made at the rank of Associate or Full Professor with a competitive salary. Since we are working on a tight schedule, all applications arriving by November 10 will be considered. Please submit a CV in electronic form to Dr. Kleanthes Grohmann, the Interim Director of the Language Center. For submission of applications and further inquiries, please send an email to: kleanthi@ucy.ac.cy ==================================================== Kleanthes K.
