The School of Languages and Linguistics seeks to appoint a 1-year fixed term Senior Tutor (0.5) position in the Russian Studies Program, funded by the Henry Rosengren Russian Trust Fund. The Henry Rosengren Russian Trust Fund was established to promote the study of Russian language and/or literature and/or lexicography.
The Russian Program within the School of Languages and Linguistics is a small, but dynamic and growing unit which teaches Russian language and culture from beginner’s up to advanced level, including research degrees in the MA and PhD. It also contributes to interdisciplinary teaching within the School. The Senior Tutor (Level A) will consolidate and further develop the School’s teaching program.
The Senior Tutor in Russian will have responsibility for teaching and coordination at the undergraduate level, including the capacity to coordinate and teach primarily our second- and third-year subjects Russian 3, 4, 5 and 6. The Senior Tutor will also teach into other Russian subjects as required, and will be involved in the Russian Studies program’s administration, outreach, curriculum development and engagement. In addition, the Senior Tutor in Russian will engage in professional activities appropriate to his or her profession or discipline, and undertake administration primarily relating to his or her activities at the institution.
The successful applicant will be a committed and engaging teacher in Russian whose versatility will complement and help develop the discipline’s strengths at the University of Melbourne.
