Goucher College, History

Assistant Professor of Latin American History

Assistant Professor of Latin American History

Goucher College’s department of history invites applications for a tenure-track position as an assistant professor starting August 2015.  We’re looking for faculty who can teach dynamic introductory and upper-division courses in Latin American history. Preference will be given to candidates who specialize in women, gender, and/or sexuality.  Teaching is at the heart of our mission, and we’re committed to building student-mentoring relationships, as well as helping students develop resilience and encouraging them to reflect on their individual learning styles as the basic building blocks for a lifetime of success.  We seek candidates with a commitment to ongoing scholarly research and service to the department, the college, and the liberal arts.  We also incorporate an international perspective into each discipline. Application materials should reflect a clear plan to achieve these goals.  The position requires the completion of a Ph.D. before the time of appointment. 

Goucher is a small college with a big view of the world.  Located 20 minutes north of the heart of Baltimore, MD, we’re reimagining liberal arts education and preparing our students for the jobs of the future.  We encourage innovation both inside and outside the classroom, and we welcome big, bold ideas.  One-third of our students come from a multicultural background.  We’re committed to increasing the diversity of our community and encourage applicants who will support that mission. 

Applications must be received by December 4, 2014.  The review of applications will begin on December 5, 2014 and will continue until the position is filled.  Interested applicants must apply online at http://goucher.interviewexchange.com
