Teaching

The candidate for the PU position will be expected to teach courses at all undergraduate and graduate levels, dedicated both to Albanian literature, oral and written, from their origins, and to relevant civilizational aspects of the Albanian territory and people. He/she will be at ease in so-called "Albanological" fields, with priority given to subjects of anthropology and cultural history, in addition to those directly related to language and literature.

In addition, the candidate will have demonstrated skills in both the theoretical and practical aspects of translation, particularly literary and technical Albanian-French translation and vice versa. Teaching the study of texts from a variety of registers and usages will also be part of the skills required for this position.

The candidate for the PU position will be called upon on an ad hoc basis to represent the Albanian field in seminars and cross-disciplinary teaching at bachelor's and master's level in the Europe department.

His or her mission will be to supervise research at master's and doctoral level, as well as to work towards the national and international influence of Albanian studies within Inalco. In addition to teaching and supervising students, the candidate for the PU position will have pedagogical responsibility for Albanian studies and will ensure the smooth running of the LLCER Albanian bachelor's and LLCER Albanian master's courses.

The candidate will also be expected to contribute to the development of pedagogical tools, particularly digital ones, as part of the development of the establishment's hybrid or distance teaching offer. Competence in ICTE and reflection on digital pedagogy is desirable.
He or she may, depending on his or her specialist discipline, provide part of his or her service in cross-disciplinary teaching within his or her department or across the establishment at bachelor's and master's levels.

Research

The candidate has a perfect command of Albanian. His or her research activity and publications attest to his or her influence in his or her field in France and internationally. He or she will thus contribute to the development and attractiveness of Albanian studies.

His or her work should fall within one of the team's research axes, and his or her projects will complement or enrich existing ones.
The candidate will consider the convergence between his or her work and Inalco's intellectual and scientific identity, as embodied in the collective projects carried out by the establishment and its research units. Depending on his or her specialties, the teacher-researcher recruited will be able to join the research unit of his or her choice from among Inalco's own teams and UMRs under the (co)supervision of Inalco, with particular emphasis on:
