The Department of Religion invites applications for one tenure-track
position in the area of Hinduism. Applicants must be able to teach graduate
and undergraduate courses from a religious studies approach. The ability
to teach in the related fields of comparative religion and women and
religion will be considered an asset.
Candidates for the position may approach the study of Hinduism as textualists,
historians, or anthropologists, but must have a well-developed specialization
with the relevant language skills (at least two South Asian languages
one of which normally would be Sanskrit). The ideal candidate should
be able to teach the history and practice of Hinduism, including the
philosophical and textual traditions.
Applications should consist of a cover letter, a current curriculum
vitae, copies of recent publications, a statement of teaching philosophy
and interests, a writing sample, a statement of research achievements
and evidence of teaching effectiveness including course evaluations.
E-mail applications will not be accepted. Candidates should arrange
for three letters of reference to be sent directly to Dr. Norma Joseph
at the address below.
Subject to budgetary approval, we anticipate filling this position,
normally at the rank of Assistant Professor, for July 1, 2007. Review
of applications will begin as of October 12, 2006 and will
continue until the positions are filled.
All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian
citizens and permanent residents of Canada will be given priority. Concordia
University is committed to employment equity.
