Term Faculty (Non-Tenure Track) - History (22-23)

Description

The History Department of DePaul University invites applications for a visiting one-year term faculty in Colonial and Early National-era U.S. History to begin January 2023, with the possibility of renewal.  The teaching load is three classes per quarter.  Primary responsibilities for this position are to teach multiple sections of the first quarter of the U.S. history survey (to 1800), to develop an undergraduate course in the candidate’s area of specialty, and to offer an advanced undergraduate course in either Colonial or American Revolution.  

Located in the north side of Chicago, DePaul is in the heart of the city.  Teaching and learning are our priorities. That might seem obvious, but we're the largest private university whose faculty members' priority is teaching. We're also the nation's largest Catholic university — and we're committed to an educational experience that weaves together mind, place, people and heart.  Our students come from 49 states and 136 countries.  We have over 14,000 undergraduates, one-third of whom are first-generation college students.

Qualifications

Ph.D. or advanced ABD status in Colonial or Early National-era U.S. history is required.  Teaching experience is required; online teaching experience is welcome. DePaul seeks candidates with demonstrated cultural competencies to include teaching, service and research in diverse learning communities.

Application Instructions

Applicants must submit a cover letter; curriculum vitae; a syllabus for a course the candidate has already taught; and three letters of recommendation, at least one of which should speak directly to the applicant’s teaching experience. 

Deadline for applications is October 14, 2022
