Assistant Professor of Spanish (Tenure-Track)

The Department of World Languages & Cultures at Allegheny College invites applicants interested in joining an energetic department that offers a breadth of languages and in contributing to a robust Spanish program on a full-time tenure-track appointment beginning in August of 2023. The ideal candidate will have a focus in Latinx culture; experience with heritage language learners is preferred.

While primary teaching responsibilities will be in Spanish, this position will be a part of a faculty cohort with expertise in race, gender, and/or social justice who could contribute to the core curriculum in one (or more) of three interdisciplinary programs:  Black StudiesCommunity & Justice Studies, and Women’s, Gender & Sexuality Studies. Applicants are asked to demonstrate how their teaching and research experience intersects with one (or more of) these fields. This position will be appointed in the Department of World Languages & Cultures with clearly established guidelines and evaluation processes for contributions to other program(s). Allegheny College has committed ongoing resources to offering faculty in this cohort professional development opportunities, and we welcome teacher-scholars who are enthusiastic about collaborating with faculty colleagues and mentoring undergraduate students in the above interdisciplinary areas.

All Allegheny faculty participate in delivering college-wide first-year/sophomore seminars (taught in English), in advising Senior Projects, and in our shared governance structure through service to the campus community. Teaching load is 3/3 with course releases earned through Senior Project advising, and a one-course reduction in the first semester on the tenure track.

Qualifications: Ph.D. by time of appointment required. Evidence of effective teaching and native or near-native fluency in Spanish and English are required as well as a demonstrated potential for excellence in research and scholarly publications.
