New Position. The newly endowed Robert Weiner and Ilan Peleg Chair in Jewish Studies. Lafayette College. Easton, Pennsylvania. Application deadline: 12 March 2021.

February 21, 2021 by EAJS Administrator

Lafayette College invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position to fill the newly endowed Robert Weiner and Ilan Peleg Chair in Jewish Studies, starting July 1, 2021. This is an open-rank position, with a strong preference for candidates at the rank of associate professor or advanced assistant professor. The successful candidate will be jointly affiliated with the Jewish Studies program and a department/program appropriate to the candidate’s discipline and area of teaching and scholarship. We are interested in a candidate who will teach courses in Jewish Studies related to one or more of the subjects of Jewish history, religion, politics, philosophy, literatures, and the arts, communities, languages, and cultures from their ancient origins through present times in societies around the world, including the Holocaust and Arab-Israeli relations. The candidate will also provide undergraduates with research opportunities and mentor them in their independent scholarship. We welcome candidates with a doctorate from any of a range of departments and disciplines, including but not necessarily Jewish Studies. The candidate will play a leadership role in further strengthening the Jewish Studies program at Lafayette College, which takes an interdisciplinary approach to examining the many facets of Jewish civilization.

We seek exceptional teacher-scholars with evidence of innovative and effective undergraduate teaching, a strong and productive research program, and widely recognized or potential leadership in the field. The teaching load is four courses in the first year of appointment and five courses each year after that. Applicants should upload the following items to Interfolio at https://apply.interfolio.com/82801 by March 12, 2021: a cover letter, CV, a statement of teaching philosophy and interests, a recent writing sample in English (e.g., an article, chapter, etc., 25 pages maximum), up to two course syllabi, and three letters of recommendation. The cover letter should discuss how the applicant’s teaching, scholarship, mentoring, and/or community service will support Lafayette’s commitment to diversity and inclusion as articulated in the College’s diversity statement (http://www.lafayette.edu/about/diversity-statement). Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled. Applications completed by March 12, 2021 will receive full consideration. Further inquiries may be addressed to the search committee co-chairs, Eric Ziolkowski (ziolkowe@lafayette.edu) or Ethan Berkove (berkovee@lafayette.edu).

Lafayette College is a highly selective private undergraduate college with academic programs and opportunities characteristic of larger institutions. The College is approximately 70 miles from both New York City and Philadelphia. More information about the Jewish Studies program is available at https://jewishstudies.lafayette.edu/. Lafayette College is committed to creating a diverse community: one that is inclusive and responsive, and is supportive of each and all its students, staff, and faculty. All members of the College community share a responsibility for creating, maintaining, and developing a learning environment in which difference is valued, equity is sought, and inclusiveness is practiced. Lafayette College is an equal opportunity employer and encourages applications from women and minorities.

Two 3-year postdoc positions focused on the Targums (1. Biblical/Jewish Studies; 2. Digital Humanities). KU Leuven, Belgium. Deadline: 31 March 2021.

February 3, 2021 by EAJS Administrator

Two Postdoctoral Positions

KU Leuven, Belgium

The KU Leuven, Belgium, invites applications for two 3-year postdoc positions within the European Research Council-funded project TEXTEVOLVE (grant number 818702), the focus of which is the Targums.

This exciting interdisciplinary project aims to expand the corpus of available Targum texts by recovering ‘lost’ manuscripts; subject recently discovered manuscripts to thorough textual analysis; and apply techniques from the biological sciences to the Targums in order to better understand their textual traditions. There are two positions available:

1. POSTDOC IN BIBLICAL / JEWISH STUDIES

The postdoc will focus on identifying, locating, and studying manuscripts containing Targum that are inadequately described in catalogues or the present location of which is uncertain. The project therefore offers an exciting opportunity to study and publish previously unstudied primary materials.

Further information, including how to apply, can be found here: https://www.kuleuven.be/personeel/jobsite/jobs/56143490

2. POSTDOC DIGITAL HUMANITIES 

The postdoc will use computer modelling to infer the relationship between the textual witnesses and to integrate external data into the analysis in order to model the historical development of the texts. The approach is experimental, requiring flexibility and creativity, while offering the successful candidate an exciting opportunity to contribute to the development of new ways of working with ancient texts.

Further information, including how to apply, can be found here: https://www.kuleuven.be/personeel/jobsite/jobs/56143479

The project team is led by prof. dr. Hector Patmore (hector.patmore@kuleuven.be). The deadline for applications is March 31, 2021.
