Lecturers in the Humanities for Stanford Introductory Studies. Stanford University seeks a number of lecturers to lead discussion sections in conjunction with courses offered in its Introduction to the Humanities Program, a part of Stanford Introductory Studies.
Introduction to the Humanities (IHUM) courses fulfill the Area One requirement, the first of Stanford's undergraduate General Education Requirements. They aim to build intellectual foundations in humanistic study and enhance skills in analysis, reasoning, argumentation, oral and written expression. IHUM courses are multi-disciplinary. Candidates are sought with doctoral degrees in humanities disciplines, especially those with expertise in classics and/or archaeology.
Lecturers will assist faculty members in developing course materials; lead three discussion sections (averaging 15 students), each meeting at least twice weekly; and grade student work. Lecturers should acculturate students to university-level academic work and familiarize them with skills and approaches appropriate to humanistic disciplines. Information about the program can be found at <www.stanford.edu/dept/undergrad/areaone>.
Appointments of lecturers will be made for a one-year term in the 2000-2001 academic year, with a start date of August 21, 2000. The position is renewable for up to two additional years upon application. Salary will be at least $36,500.
Send letter of application, curriculum vitae, three letters of reference, and teaching evaluations by April 3, 2000 to Professor Harry J. Elam, Jr., c/o Ms. Susan Rose, Introduction to the Humanities Program Office, 250-251J, Stanford, CA 94305-2020.
