[Ravi Vasudevan]

Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, is one of India's premier 
postgraduate universities. It is currently in the process of setting up a 
new School of Arts and Aesthetics which will offer MA, M Phil and PhD 
programmes in the history and theory of Indian visual and performing arts. 
The School will admit its very first batch of MA students in July 2003 and 
is currently recruiting new faculty in both areas of focus.

We would be grateful if you could list or publicize our advertisement for 
faculty recruitment through your website and/or bulletin boards or word of 
mouth. Full details of the advertisement, essential qualifications, and a 
downloadable application form are available from the JNU website, www.jnu.ac.in
Only Indian citizens are eligible to apply. The current advertisement is 
for senior level positions - Professor and Associate Professor - but 
candidates with good qualifications at the Assistant Professor level could

Awareness of contemporary advances in performance studies and contemporary 
theory as well as grounding in traditional (Indian) forms is important. In 
addition to teaching the post will involve curriculum development, 
gathering resources for teaching archives and creating an interface between 
theory and practice.
