The School of Communication and Culture at Aarhus University invites applications for the position of Tenure-Track Assistant Professor or Tenured Associate Professor of comparative literature based at the Department of Comparative Literature and Rhetoric.

The Tenure-Track Assistant Professorship begins with a full-time appointment as Assistant Professor with a view to permanent employment as Tenured Associate Professor within three to five years.

The associate professorship is full time and tenured.

Applicants must apply for either a Tenure-Track Assistant Professorship or a Tenured Associate Professorship.

The appointment begins on 1 December 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The School of Communication and Culture is committed to diversity and encourages all qualified applicants to apply regardless of their personal background.

The position

We are seeking an innovative and dedicated applicant who will be expected to strengthen the international profile of comparative literature at Aarhus University and contribute to the university’s core activities – research, teaching and supervision, talent development and knowledge exchange. The degree programme in comparative literature emphasises literary studies’ comparative and historical dimensions. The successful applicant must have a significant record of research that a) engages with the interrelationship between different languages and/or cultural areas and b) reflects on the construction of literary history, including literature’s relationship to cultural contexts and/or societal challenges. Moreover, we particularly welcome applicants with a strong interest in and/or experience (commensurate with the position) with outreach and knowledge exchange.

Research

The successful applicant will be expected to publish original peer-reviewed research internationally on the comparative and historical dimensions of literary studies as well as on the cultural and social contexts of literature. Applicants must submit a 3–5-year research plan within these areas and reflect on how the proposed research can contribute to integrating the historical, cultural and social dimensions in literary courses at both the BA and MA level. The successful applicant will also be expected to contribute to research initiatives in relation to both the field of comparative literature and the department’s research community in terms of new collaborative research projects with internal and external partners and in connection with external research funding.

Teaching and supervision

We are looking for an applicant with teaching and supervision experience in comparative literature at university level and with a vision for how to develop the programme’s curriculum and teaching strategies. In this connection, experience developing degree programmes and curricula at universities or similar institutions will be an advantage.

The successful applicant must be prepared to teach a broad range of historical, theoretical and analytical courses in the comparative literature BA and MA programmes, and to contribute to the integration of research and teaching as well as the development and application of innovative teaching methods. Please refer to our programme descriptions and indicate in your application which courses you could teach.
