Adjunct | Teaching Assistant

Full-Time, tenure-track positions are advertised in the MLA Job Information List (both the electronic and October print versions) and require a Ph.D. in the language to be taught. We cannot consider applications from candidates whose degree is in Comparative Literature.

Full-time faculty teach both lower-division language classes and upper-division conversation, writing, literature, and civilization courses. Preliminary interviews are conducted at the annual MLA convention.

We will be seeking an Assistant Professor of Spanish to begin in fall 2008. In addition to listing the position with the MLA, the area of specialization and application instructions will be posted here as soon as they become available.

General qualifications:

• Ph.D. in Spanish (not Comparative Literature) in hand by start date
• native or near native proficiency in Spanish and English.
• must have a strong commitment to teaching and scholarly achievement, as well as sincere interest in teaching Spanish language courses at all levels

Adjunct positions are seldom advertised because we maintain a file of unsolicited applications, though on occasion we send employment notices to local colleges and universities.

Adjunct faculty must hold at least a Master's degree in the language to be taught. They teach first, second, third and fourth semester language courses. When needed, adjuncts who hold a Ph.D. may be assigned an upper-division conversation, writing, literature, or civilization course.

We are fully staffed for the fall 2007 semester.

We do not employ Teaching Assistants.
