POSTDOCTORAL FACULTY FELLOW
Liberal Studies
New York University Arts and Science
Liberal Studies at New York University invites applications for two
Postdoctoral Faculty Fellow positions to begin September 1, 2019,
pending administrative and budgetary approval.
Liberal Studies provides a unique interdisciplinary educational
experience to undergraduate students. The Liberal Studies Core
consists of a two-year interdisciplinary global curriculum drawing
on great works across civilizations. The Global Liberal Studies
Bachelor of Arts, one of NYU’s premier liberal arts degrees, builds
on the global core with an upper division interdisciplinary set of
concentrations that direct students toward different areas of
global study.
Liberal Studies Postdoctoral Faculty Fellows teach one course for
the first semester, and two courses for each subsequent semester in
the Liberal Studies Core. Fellows work closely with an
assigned Faculty Mentor, and attend a series of pedagogy workshops
that explore innovative approaches to interdisciplinary teaching,
syllabus design for a global curriculum, and strategies for
promoting inclusivity and equity in the undergraduate
classroom. Fellows are appointed for two years, renewable for
a third year based on performance and programmatic need; they are
non-tenure track and non-renewable beyond the third year.

ability to teach great works from around the world that examine
enduring questions and explore iconic ideas of philosophy,

to the early 18th century in our Social Foundations I and II
sequence.
Minimum qualifications: a Ph.D. in hand by the date of appointment;
commitment to excellence in undergraduate teaching required.
Some college-level teaching experience, and publications or other
evidences of outstanding scholarship and relevant professional
activity are desirable. Successful candidates will have
received the Ph.D. no more than three years before taking up the

benefits. Fellows will be provided with offices, computers,
