Rice University invites applicants at the rank of associate or full professor for the endowed Laurence H. Favrot Chair in French Studies. While we will consider candidates in all fields, we have particular interest in those whose work has focused on the Francophone world beyond France. Evidence of outstanding scholarly accomplishment and a strong commitment to undergraduate teaching are essential. Native or near-native fluency in French and English. PhD or equivalent in French or related field is required. Applications should include cover letter, c.v., three letters of recommendation, and an article-length publication.
