The Board of Electors to the His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said Professorship of Modern Arabic Studies invite applications for this Professorship from candidates whose work focuses on the study of Modern Arabic and/or the Modern Arab world.
The Sultan Qaboos Professorship is one of the most prestigious established Professorships in the field, and candidates’ experience and research expertise is expected to reflect this. As such, candidates will have an outstanding research record and will be internationally recognised for their contribution to the study of Modern Arabic and/or the Modern Arab World.
As a senior figure in the Department of Middle Eastern Studies, candidates will also be able to demonstrate a successful track record of academic leadership and mentorship.
