Manhattanville College is an independent, coeducational, liberal arts college located about 30 miles north of New York City on a picturesque campus of 100 acres.  The College enrolls a nationally and internationally diverse student body of approximately 2,500 undergraduate and graduate students with over 40% of our students coming from historically underrepresented populations. Building on its heritage of social justice and social activism, the College prepares students through rigorous academic and co-curricular programs, for ethical and socially responsible leadership in a global community.  We achieve this through integrated learning that combines classroom rigor with experiential opportunities, leadership with service, intimate attention with global reach, progressive change with enduring values, and social commitment with ethical responsibility. The College is fully committed to an inclusive and culturally diverse faculty, staff and student community. We seek to recruit qualified and diverse candidates who will help us achieve our goal of creating an inclusive community that is welcoming to all people.

The School of Arts and Sciences centers on a strong liberal arts curriculum that reflects the current needs of students, society, and the job market, and offers over 40 undergraduate programs and 7 graduate programs.

The successful candidate must also have a record of demonstrated excellence in teaching and the promise for solid research in the field. While the field of study is open, with candidates from history, political science, health and wellness, psychology, sociology, literature, kinesiology, and business considered, the program is looking to enhance and broaden the diversity of the current faculty; a global/international focus is valued.  The ideal candidate will be committed to quality teaching and advising of undergraduate students, enhance research opportunities for undergraduate students, collaborate across disciplines, and value service to the institution, program, profession, and community. In addition, candidates must exhibit an eagerness helping grow the diversity of the program through prospective and current student recruitment, community engagement and experiential learning opportunities.

  • Perform service as appropriate to the program, school, college, profession and community.

The successful candidate must show a record of: (a) high-quality teaching at the undergraduate level, (b) research that has potential for acquiring external funding, (c) commitment to institutional priorities that affirm the value of diversity and (d) commitment to service and faculty governance. Candidates should be willing to teach in the college's interdisciplinary programs such as the first-year program or undergraduate honors program.
