This is a contract dependent upon program course offerings and course enrollment.

The ideal candidate will be able to teach introductory courses on Africa and the African Diaspora from an interdisciplinary perspective as well as courses in the Liberal Studies Program’s Sophomore Seminar on Multiculturalism in the U.S. There may also be opportunities to teach a self-designed topics course on a topic of the instructor’s own design.

Candidates should have an earned a PhD in the Social Sciences, Humanities, or a relevant field to the study of Africa and the African Diaspora, although advanced graduate students at All-But-Dissertation status will be considered. Some experience teaching at the university level is highly desirable.

This appointment will begin January 2013. 

If available, the inclusion of syllabi for previously taught courses would be welcome.

Deadline for submissions is October 31, 2012.  We expect to make a decision by December 3, 2012.
