The Department of Classical and Modern Languages and Literatures at Saint Michael's College invites applications for an Instructor of Spanish position to begin in August 2024.We seek a versatile teacher with a commitment to undergraduate education in the liberal arts tradition. Candidates should be prepared to teach all levels of undergraduate language, culture, and literature courses: introductory and intermediate language classes, advanced written communication (composition), conversation, and a variety of cultural and literary topics at the advanced level. The area of specialization is open, and candidates must be prepared to teach a range of cultural and literary topics that include both Latin America and Spain. Experience teaching, or a willingness to teach, Spanish for professional/specific purposes — such as Business Spanish or Spanish for Health Professions — is also highly desirable.

This role includes teaching six courses annually at various levels and some additional responsibilities, including: placement exam evaluations; student support and recruitment; curriculum and program development; community and departmental engagement.

Our lived experience impacts how we self-assess our skills, experience, and qualifications. In particular, data and statistics have shown that candidates who are BIPOC, LGBTQ+, women, people from working-class backgrounds, people with disabilities, and others with minoritized and marginalized identities may not apply to jobs when they do not believe they meet 100% of the requirements and expected responsibilities listed in the job descriptions. Some responsibilities and skills are teachable and can be learned on the job. If you can imagine yourself in this position, bringing value to our students and community and meeting most of what we are looking for, please apply.
