Koç University Teaching Opportunity

We are especially interested in candidates whose specializations fall into one or more of the following areas: postcolonial studies, Literature of the Americas, and / or Middle Eastern literature (especially Ottoman studies). However, we also welcome applicants with other areas of specialization who can contribute to a small department that is striving to become increasingly international and interdisciplinary. The successful applicant will teach two courses per semester and collaborate to build a young and growing department. Salary is competitive and includes a housing allowance; reappointment hinges on continued research productivity. Koç is a private, Western-style university located in İstanbul. It was founded in 1993 to provide a liberal arts education for Turkish and international students. The language of instruction is English.
