The Language Center is looking for a full-time Director



The University of Cyprus is looking to fill the position  of Director of
the Language Center.

The contract  will be made initially for a one-year Visiting post, but
the University of Cyprus is currently investigating the possibility of
hiring the successful applicant on the full post straight away. The full
post of Director of the Language Center will be made out to the academic
rank and salary level of Associate Professor or Full Professor on the
basis of a renewable three-year contract.

Minimum qualifications  for an appointment as Associate Professor are
seven years employment and work experience in a relevant area after the
doctoral degree has been conferred (a PhD in a relevant area is
required). Candidates who already hold a full professorship would be
hired at the rank of Full Professor.

The position is available immediately, with a preferred starting date
as soon as possible or  September 1, 2005.

Among the expected tasks of the Director is setting up the Language
Center in a dynamic environment: the University of Cyprus, the only
public university in the Republic of Cyprus, was founded in 1989 and
admitted its first students in 1992. The Language Center has only
recently been established as an autonomous institution within the newly
found Faculty of Humanities (alongside the Departments of English
Studies, French Studies and Modern Languages, and Turkish and Middle
Eastern Studies).

The working language is mainly English, knowledge of Greek will be an
asset.

Further tasks  of more immediate need and relevance include:

- course management and scheduling within the University of Cyprus;

- expanding the Language Center to offer language courses to the public;

- training and managing language teachers (incl. hiring, promoting,
training);

- teaching one academic course per semester (in one of the three
departments of the Faculty of Humanities).

General information

The new homepage (partially under construction) of the entire Faculty of
Humanities  can be found at: <www.hum.ucy.ac.cy/index.php> (information
on these pages supersedes the official UCY homepage at <www.ucy.ac.cy>).
The homepage of the Language Center, also under ongoing construction,
can be found at: <www.hum.ucy.ac.cy/LGC/index.php>. 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 the Visiting Director will thus be to supervise
and engage in the preparations for construction, incl. technical and
instructional infrastructure.

Actual situation

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.

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 <[log in to unmask]>.
