BOOKS SHOPPING THE TANGIER AMERICAN Legation Institute for Moroccan Studies (TALIM), the only U.S. historic landmark outside the United States and the site of the American Overseas Research Center of the American Institute for Maghrib Studies (AIMS) in Morocco, invites applications for the position of Resident Director. TALIM is housed in a spacious his- toric building in the Tangier medina that func- tions as a museum open to the public, a pub- lic research library, a conference facility and a community center, and hosts a language program. TALIM’s Director serves as liaison between American and Moroccan scholars and administers AIMS grants and programs in Morocco, as well as cooperating with other AIMS centers in Tunis and Oran. S/He needs to show an ability to: act in a representation- al capacity abroad, conserve and operate a historic building, activate and direct commu- nity outreach programs, fundraise, and orga- nize and interact effectively with the interna- tional academic community. TALIM is sup- ported by private sources and by AIMS; main- tenance of the building is funded by the U.S. Embassy and organized and tended by the Director. The Director supervises a staff of librarian-assistant director, tour guide and 3 maintenance men, and is responsible to a Board of Directors in Washington. The successful applicant should have experience in the Maghrib in academics and administration and be fluent in French. Arabic is highly desirable. H/she should have a com- fortable retirement package already in hand as the position does not provide pension or medical benefits. Housing is provided in the Legation.
