Faculty Position in Modern History, Doha Institute for Graduate Studies (Doha, Qatar)
Continuing the list of positions in the Middle East we've been posting recently, here is a recent attractive position in Doha, Qatar that looks terrific, especially for those TPF readers with fluency in the Arabic language. As a recent call for applications explains,
the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies invites applications for a full-time, open-rank position on the professorial scale in its History Program. The Doha Institute is a new independent institution for learning and research in the fields of Social Sciences, Humanities, Public Administration and Development Economics, launched in October 2015. The DI offers internationally competitive salaries and benefits based on rank and experience, and the opportunity of promotion across ranks, subject to performance.
Candidates will have a PhD in at least one area of modern and contemporary history, an excellent research and publication record, and proven teaching experience, preferably including post-graduate level. The successful candidate should be able to teach courses related to history of social structures in the Arab world; the Arabs in local and regional contexts; memory and history; and the Arabs and modernity, as well as supervise theses in related fields. While English is recognized as a language of learning and research in the DI, ability to teach in Arabic is a requirement. The successful candidate will also be expected to engage in individual and collaborative research, apply for competitive research funding nationally and internationally, contribute to the development of the History Program, collaborate with colleagues across different disciplines, and participate fully in campus academic life.
The appointment is to commence September 2016 or as soon as possible thereafter. The search will continue until the position is filled.
Interested? In order to apply, you should prepare an application consisting of a cover letter, a detailed curriculum vitae, evidence of teaching experience, publication sample, and the names of three referees to careers@dohainstitute.edu.qa no later than May 30, 2016. Good luck!
