JOB: Director, Center for Jewish Studies, Eastern Michigan University

Eastern Michigan University seeks a visionary and inspiring leader to direct our Center for Jewish Studies.  While rank is open, we anticipate the successful candidate will have a record warranting a tenured appointment in one of the academic departments of the university.  The teaching load for this position is 1/1, which includes contributing courses to our existing minor in Jewish Studies. The Director works together with academic leaders in both the Provost’s Office and College of Arts and Sciences.  Owing to the Center’s interdisciplinary and community-linked mission, it is currently a part of the Provost’s Office.  The academic minor is housed in the College of Arts and Sciences.

Deadline: 15 February 2022
