Master’s degree or enrollment in a Ph.D. program required; Ph.D. preferred. Experience in culture-based instruction, integration of new technologies and curriculum development. Demonstrated interest in francophone studies or film and media will be a plus. Ability to supervise and mentor graduate student instructors is highly desirable. Preference will be given to candidates with a background in French as a Foreign Language and/or Linguistics, SLA or Applied Linguistics, although other fields will be considered. Applications will be reviewed based on curricular need, and the Department may not review all applications it receives. Only candidates selected for an interview will be contacted. No letters of recommendation are required at this time.
