Position: | Visiting Assistant Professor |
The Department of History at the College of Wooster invites applications for a one-year visiting assistant professorship in U.S. History (period open) beginning in August 2020. We welcome applications from candidates in any sub-field or specialization.
We are especially interested in hiring faculty who can contribute to the intellectual vibrancy and diversity of the academic community through their teaching, research, and service. The College of Wooster enrolls a diverse student body (21% domestic students of color and 15% international students); all applicants are expected to discuss their experience working with diverse student populations.
The successful candidate will teach the equivalent of 6 courses, including a two-semester survey in U.S. history, topical courses in their field of expertise, and courses for non-majors. They may also supervise independent thesis projects as part of the College’s Independent Study program of faculty-mentored undergraduate research. In addition, we are interested in candidates whose research and teaching can connect with one or more interdisciplinary programs at The College of Wooster such as Africana Studies, Environmental Studies, Global & International Studies, Urban Studies, or Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.
Applicants should submit a letter of application; curriculum vitae; unofficial graduate transcripts; evidence of strong teaching (such as teaching philosophy, syllabi and student evaluations, if applicable) and research (such as research statement and writing sample of 25 pages or less); a statement detailing how the applicant has engaged and/or expects to engage with issues of diversity and inclusion in the classroom and the curriculum, as well as on campus and in the broader community; and three references letters through Interfolio. Applications received by March 1, 2020, will receive full consideration.
