Assistant Professor of French and German

The Department of World Languages and Cultures invites applicants for a full-time, non-tenure-track renewable appointment beginning August 2021. Ideal candidates will have experience and success teaching French language and literature/culture at all levels and the ability to teach German language and culture; expertise in an aspect of pre-1789 France preferred. Ph.D. by time of appointment preferred. Evidence of effective College-level teaching and native or near-native fluency in French and English are required. Teaching load is 6 courses per year.
