Call for Teaching Portfolios for Visiting Lecturer Positions in the Near Future
The Department of Gender Studies at the Central European University in Budapest, Hungary invites teaching portfolios from gender studies scholars in any area of social science and humanities who wish to be considered for several teaching openings we anticipate in the coming years in our MA and PhD programs. These positions are likely to be on a one-course basis but might also cover multiple courses if portfolios and teaching needs coincide well. Courses in Gender Studies at CEU cover a broad array of topics from various disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives.
Teaching generally takes place in the Fall (mid September to early December) and Winter (early January to the end of March) in 12 week terms. Courses are taught in two forms: one 100 minute class per week (2 credits/4 ECTS) or twice per week (4 credits/8 ECTS). Remuneration will be commensurate with experience, within budgetary limits and subject to Hungarian taxation. Classes are taught seminar style in groups generally ranging from 12 to 20 students. Critical reading, writing, and original research are emphasized.

Candidates at any level will be considered as long as they have a completed PhD degree by the time they would teach. We are looking for quality scholarship as evidenced through publications, demonstrated teaching experience in gender studies or relevant fields, and an ability to teach across disciplinary boundaries. In terms of course topics, we welcome proposals for courses with a focus on gender and/or sexuality that complement our current curriculum but may also consider those that duplicate current offerings in cases where faculty members go on leave. Fields in which we anticipate a need for temporary staff include film theory, feminist philosophy, religion, and policy related topics, but we welcome proposals for courses in other fields as well. Please see the departmental site at http://gender.ceu.hu/ for areas of specialization and the current curriculum as well as general information about the department.

Applications should consist of 1) a cover letter, 2) academic CV with list of publications and contact information for two scholars who can provide reference letters, 3) a list of proposed courses, and 4) sample syllabi for proposed courses. Please send as email attachments to Anna Cseh, cseha@ceu.hu with the subject line: Gender Studies General Call. There is no fixed deadline: applications will be considered on a rolling basis according to curriculum needs. Any questions may be addressed to Elissa Helms helmse@ceu.hu.

CEU is an English language graduate university accredited in both the US and Hungary. It offers MA and PhD programs in a variety of social science disciplines, the humanities, law, and environmental sciences. See more at http://www.ceu.hu/.
