Tenure-track or Tenured Professor
Harvard University
Faculty of Arts and Sciences
Department of Celtic Languages and Literatures
The Department of Celtic Languages and Literatures, Harvard University, seeks to make a tenure-track, or possibly a tenured, appointment. Candidates must have excellent command of at least one Celtic language. We are open to applicants specializing in any period, and based in any discipline, with research and teaching interests in the cultures of the Celtic speaking lands. We would especially welcome applicants with an interest in environmental humanities, including environmental change, population movements, and/or landscape studies, as these are reflected in literature, oral tradition, archaeology and/or the historical record.
Promise of excellence in both teaching and research is essential, as well as a doctorate conferred by the time the appointment begins. The appointee will teach and advise students at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels and will be expected to develop innovative courses at both levels. It is expected that some of the undergraduate courses offered by the appointee will contribute to Harvard’s Program in Folklore and Mythology. The appointee will also undertake administrative responsibilities, commensurate with rank, in the Celtic Department and will be expected to participate in the interdepartmental and interdisciplinary intellectual life of the Division of Arts and Humanities and the wider scholarly community at Harvard and beyond.
Harvard University is an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
Applicants should submit the following materials online through the ARIeS portal (https://academicpositions.harvard.edu): letter of application; curriculum vitae; research interests and plans; teaching experience and philosophy; as well as a statement describing efforts to encourage diversity, inclusion, and belonging, including past, current, and anticipated future contributions in these areas. Tenure-track applicants are required to provide names and contact information for 3 referees.
