Successful applicants will demonstrate teaching experience, experience in interdisciplinary collaboration, as well as the ability to attract third-party funding to research projects.

In addition to research, the job entails instruction of BA-level and MA-level students with degree emphases in English literatures and European literatures, including some students in the MA-program in English Education. It is also expected that all department faculty contribute to the administrative committees of the department.

The application deadline is 20 September 2018 (before midnight Central European Time). Questions about the position and the final application materials should reference the position code JP/014/18, and should be addressed to the Dean of the Faculty of Language, Literature, and Humanities, Prof. Dr. Ulrike Vedder, preferably by email at berufungen.sprachlit@hu-berlin.de.
