Post-Doctoral Teaching Fellows for Introduction to the Humanities
Stanford University seeks 9 - 10 post-doctoral Teaching Fellows for 2006-07.
Teaching Fellows lead seminar discussions for Introduction to the
Humanities (IHUM) lecture courses that fulfill Stanford's year-long liberal
arts requirement for freshmen. IHUM courses build intellectual foundations
in humanistic study, and enhance skills in textual analysis, reasoning,
argumentation, and oral and written expression. Interdisciplinary, thematic
courses in autumn quarter are followed by disciplinary two-quarter course
sequences in winter and spring. Information about IHUM courses can be found
at http://ihum.stanford.edu/courses.html.
Teaching Fellows work closely with each other on teaching teams and with
members of the Stanford faculty in archeology, classics, comparative
literature, cultural and social anthropology, drama, English, comparative
studies in race and ethnicity, French and Italian, German, history, music,
philosophy, religious studies, and Slavic. Teaching Fellows teach three
seminar discussion sections each quarter (averaging 15 students) that meet
twice weekly and coordinate with course lectures given by faculty.
Teaching Fellows are appointed September 1, 2006, for a one-year term in the
2006-2007 academic year. The position is renewable for up to two additional
years depending on programmatic need and job performance. Starting salary
will be approximately $40,000. Professional development support is provided
for fellows' research and scholarship as well as for technology in teaching.
Eligibility requirements include: Ph.D. filed by June, 2006; strong record
of humanities scholarship; and evidence of teaching excellence. Other
desired qualifications are: experience in teaching first-year university
students; interdisciplinary research and/or teaching experience; familiarity
with team-teaching; and expertise in writing instruction.
