He was a lecturer in the Department of Middle Eastern Studies until 1987, when he took a position at the Netherlands Institute in Cairo for two years. Versteegh returned to Radboud in 1989, and in 2011 he became professor emeritus.[1] Versteegh's research and views on the Arabic language and its evolution have been described as groundbreaking.[5]
