Subject: possible positions open
Teaching Specialist / Lecturer
The Department of German, Scandinavian and Dutch at the University of Minnesota
is seeking to develop a pool of candidates for possible full- or part-time
positions for the academic year 1999/2000. Persons selected will teach
undergraduate language skills courses in German, Norwegian, or Swedish.
Appointment would be at the rank of Teaching Specialist for those with an M.A.,
or Lecturer for holders of the Ph.D. The number, percentage and duration of
positions depend on course enrollments. A 100% position for the whole academic
year would entail teaching six sections (three per semester). If fewer sections
are needed, the percentage and duration of the position would be reduced
proportionately; for instance, a 33% appointment for one semester would be for
teaching one section. The salary would be $5,428 per section. Fall Semester
positions would begin August 30 and Spring Semester positions January 13.
Medical insurance is dependent on percentage and length of appointment.
Positions are annually renewable for up to three years, contingent on funding
and performance.
An M.A. degree or foreign equivalent or ABD in German, Norwegian, or Swedish (as
appropriate), Foreign Language Education, or a related field and two years of
teaching experience are required. A strong background in foreign language
education or second language acquisition is preferred. Persons interested
should send a letter of application, which indicates how many sections per
semester they are available to teach (maximum and minimum), curriculum vitae,
two letters of recommendation, and student evaluations or other documentation of
teaching quality to Prof. Charlotte Melin, German, Scandinavian and Dutch, 205
Folwell Hall, 9 Pleasant Street SE, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN
55455. Applications will be reviewed beginning June 10 for Fall Semester, or
December 10 for Spring Semester.
