The Department of American Studies seeks to develop a pool of candidates for possible temporary/nontenured positions to teach undergraduate courses. Positions are not available every semester and are contingent upon student enrollment and the availability of funding. Appointments are usually made on a semester-by-semester basis, though sometimes there is departmental need for an annual appointment. Positions are renewable annually, contingent upon budgetary funding and performance.

A PhD in American Studies, or related field, and a record of teaching excellence are preferred.

Interested applicants should submit a letter of application, a current curriculum vita, and three letters of reference.
