School of Slavonic and East European Studies/UCL, London University
Lectureship in Serbian and Croatian
Literature and Culture

Applications are invited for a Lectureship in Serbian and Croatian
Literature and Culture from 1 January 2003. Applicants should see the post
as an opportunity to develop their own research interests and courses
within the School's interdisciplinary framework. The literature and
culture of the former Yugoslav lands is an essential component of both
teaching and research at SSEES, where the study of literature contributes
to a broader understanding of social and political relations and their
mutual influence. The successful candidate will be based in the East
European Department. S/he will work closely with colleagues teaching and
researching in the fields of Czech, Hungarian, Polish and Slovak
literature.

The successful candidate will also be a member of the Centre for
South-East European Studies, which provides a stimulating environment for
individual research and for projects linking scholars in the humanities,
history and social science.

Candidates must demonstrate research potential in literature and culture
and a readiness to contribute to the ethos of SSEES. The School would
welcome the development of new strengths built on a specialisation in
literature, such as film studies, history of ideas, or popular culture,
which would complement research foci in the Russian Department.

The successful candidate will oversee the Serbian and Croatian-based
degree programme, teach the literature courses currently available and
will be encouraged to initiate courses. S/he may also participate in
jointly taught courses at SSEES and elsewhere in UCL, at BA and MA levels.

The post is advertised as a full-time permanent position.

The salary will be in the range GBP22,604 to 34,671 (including London
Allowance) on the Lecturer scale.
