The position is to be housed at Bryn Mawr College, with teaching responsibilities split between the two colleges. The successful candidate will teach German language, literature, and culture courses at all levels and will be expected to be part of developing and teaching a diverse and inclusive curriculum, including interdisciplinary programs and other college-wide initiatives. Expertise in Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century German literary and cultural studies is also desirable. Applicants must have native or near-native fluency in German and show a strong commitment to excellence in teaching. A Ph.D. in German is required by the start date.

The CNTT position has no research requirement but expects service at the college and departmental level. To apply for this position, candidates must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, teaching philosophy and a statement of demonstrated commitment to diversity and inclusion to the Department of German and German Studies Search Committee via Interfolio at: http://apply.interfolio.com/128253. Applications received by December 4, 2023 will receive full consideration. In addition, candidates should arrange for three letters of recommendation to be submitted via Interfolio to the German and German Studies Department Search Committee.
