STANFORD UNIVERSITY - STANFORD, CA
1)Lecturers for the Introduction to the Humanities Program. 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, and oral and written expression. IHUM courses are multi-disciplinary. Candidates are sought with doctoral degrees in humanities disciplines, including but not limited to those with special interest in literary studies, anthropology, German studies, classics, Islamic studies, Slavic studies, and musicology.
Lecturers will assist faculty members in developing course materials; lead three discussion sections (averaging 15 students), each meeting 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, search updates and answers to frequently asked questions can be found at http://ihum.stanford.edu
Appointments of lecturers will be made for a one-year term in the 2003-2004 academic year, with a start date in mid-August, 2003. The position is renewable for up to two additional years upon application, with the possibility of one-quarter research leaves in the second and third years.
Send letter of application, curriculum vitae, three letters of reference, and evidence of teaching excellence (e.g., evaluations, faculty references, etc.), by April 10, 2003 to IHUM Fellows Search
