Applicants must be able to teach all levels of Spanish language classes, including Spanish for the professions in alignment with UW-Stout's undergraduate programs.

One vacancy will be filled either at the rank of assistant professor (tenure-track faculty) or lecturer (non-tenure track instructional academic staff with a renewable annual contract), depending on qualifications.
