Pitzer College: Assistant Professor of Spanish
Pitzer College invites applications for the position of Assistant Professor of Spanish. The field of specialization is open. The successful candidate will be joining the Modern Languages, Literatures, and Cultures (MLLC) field group, a multidisciplinary academic department that offers courses in Spanish, Portuguese, and French languages and cultures, and houses programs in writing and English language learning as well.
Candidates must have a transcultural and interdisciplinary research agenda with a primary focus on Spanish-Speaking Latin America. We welcome those whose scholarship also intersects with Brazil, the United States, Africa, and the Latin American diasporas. Training, demonstrated excellence, and deep interest in language teaching at all levels of proficiency at the undergraduate level are required. Candidates must have documented experience and/or interest in connecting language and culture teaching to local and global community-based initiatives and an interest in working collaboratively within a field group with rich potential for cross-disciplinary teaching, research, and programming.
Pitzer College has developed a nationally recognized community-based language learning approach that strengthens ties with neighboring communities, virtual communities, and study abroad sites. Thus, candidates with a teaching and research record and interests in the intersection of language, writing, community engagement, study abroad experiences, and global/local issues offer a desired asset.
Native or near-native proficiency in Spanish is required, proficiency and ability to teach in Portuguese or French are a plus. Evidence of promise in scholarship and a PhD in Spanish, Latin American Cultural studies, Latin American Literature, Hispanic studies, Hispanic Linguistics, Discourse Analysis, Critical Discourse Studies, or a related field are required.
