Arizona State University (AZ), Tempe Campus – Honors/Open Field/Open Rank

Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University is expanding its faculty and invites applications for a position in the core Honors faculty. Designated as Lecturers, Senior Lecturers, and Principal Lecturers, Barrett faculty are Honors Faculty Fellows who enjoy competitive salaries and generous benefits. The main responsibility of Barrett faculty members involves teaching a rigorous two-semester interdisciplinary seminar, The Human Event, in which students examine primary materials reflecting diverse intellectual traditions from earliest writings to the present. The course is designed to give special attention to critical thinking and argumentative writing skills.

Typical incoming students at Barrett are in the top five percent of their high school classes. Our student body is highly diverse, comprising 48% students of color; and 21% first-generation.
