Continua la ricerca di docenti in USA. Questa volta è l'Arizona in testa alla classifica degli stati americani che mettono varie cattedre a disposizione di docenti qualificati. La conoscenza della lingua inglese ovviamente è imprescindibile. Qui trovate tutti i dettagli utili per i candidati in possesso dei requisiti indispensabili.
INCARICHI DA PARTE DELLA UNIVERSITA' DELL'ARIZONA
L'Università dell'Arizona, una delle più prestigiose di tutti gli USA, offre due cattedre di grande impegno, una di lingue e letteratura latina, la seconda cattedra riguarda l'archeologia. Le condizioni economiche, è inutile dirlo, sono estremamente vantaggiose e allettanti, soprattutto per i laureati italiani abituati a ben altri parametri. Tutti i dettagli sono riportati qui di seguito, incluso gli indirizzi ai quali rivolgersi per maggiori informazioni. Confesso che per me è estremamente imbarazzante fare una cernita delle offerte di lavoro più adatte e convenienti per i nostri laureati, ben conoscendo la situazione dei nostri docenti, perennemente ultimi nella classifica europea e mondiale degli stipendi. Magari per qualcuno lo stipendio non sarà il fattore fondamentale che spinge ad affrontare la carriera di docente, ma ha pur sempre la sua importanza.
Importante: ovviamente la conoscenza della lingua inglese è uno dei fattori determinante per essere prescelti fra i candidati, insieme ai curricula personali.
