Seville, Spain: 2003-2004
The
Office of International Programs will be appointing a University
of Pennsylvania faculty member to direct its program in Seville,
Spain, during the 2003-2004 academic year. The program is sponsored

and enrolls up to 45 students from all three schools for one or
two semesters of study at the University of Seville.
The
Resident Director is the academic and administrative head of the
program, supervising the on-site operations and staff (an assistant
director and an office assistant), advising students on their
academic program and course selection, and serving as the representative
of the program in Spain. He/she will also teach one course each
term to program participants. Requirements for the position include

students. Administrative experience is also desirable.
It is expected that the Resident Director will spend eleven months
in Spain, arriving in late August and remaining through July 15
of the following year. Salary and benefits will be negotiated
with the selected candidate. The program provides housing and
supplementary medical insurance. Additionally, the program will
pay for an orientation trip for the Resident Director and for
travel for the academic year for the Resident Director and his
or her spouse, and will provide a limited allowance for excess
baggage.
