Announcing a search for an Administrative Director for our Center:

        The UNC-CH Center for Slavic, Eurasian, and East European Studies
seeks to hire a Social Scientist (preferably a Political Scientist) with a
strong commitment to Slavic area studies to teach in and administer our
existing BA in Russian and  East European Studies and our new MA in
Russian/East European Studies and Graduate Certificate Program in
Russian/East European Studies.  The main focus of the position will be on
the MA program, which is described in detail on our webpage
<http://www.unc.edu/depts/slavic>.  The Administrative Director will teach
the capstone course for the BA degree (taught every year), the capstone
course for the MA degree (taught every year starting with the second year
of employment), and will lead the one-credit spring MA seminar course
(taught every year).  The contents of the capstone courses may be adjusted
to take advantage of the Administrative Director's particular expertise.
The Administrative Director will manage all aspects of the three curricula
(BA, MA and Graduate Certificate), including recruitment, applications,
enrollment, advising, evaluation, internship/career placement, and
tracking of alumni.
        The position of Administrative Director will be funded in part by
an institutional award from the National Security Education Program; the
grant has been obtained, but the timing of its implementation is dependent
upon the approval of the MA program by General Administration.  If
approval is obtained by 3/30/99, the Administrative Director position will
commence on 7/1/99.  If not, it may be delayed.  This is a three-year
renewable EPA fixed-term faculty position and the expected salary is
approximately $45K plus benefits.
        The ideal candidate will possess area studies and language skills
relevant to one or more countries of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet
Union.  Demonstrated teaching excellence and administrative abilities are
a must; a record of scholarly publications and grantwriting/fundraising
experience are a plus.  Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.
        Send a letter of application, CV, and three letters of
recommendation by 3/30/99 to: CSEEES, CB#5125, UNC-CH, Chapel Hill, NC
27599-5125.  Teaching portfolios and writing samples are also welcome.
EOE/AA.
