STANFORD UNIVERSITY
LECTURER POSITIONS
2012-13
Stanford University is now accepting applications for lecturers to teach in the liberal arts curriculum required for freshmen. In 2012-13, Stanford will transform the Introduction to the Humanities (IHUM) program to include a broad range of disciplinary areas of study. Courses offered in this curriculum will span such diverse fields as American studies, physical chemistry, environmental studies, biological sciences, social psychology, and political philosophy as well as the traditional humanities disciplines. This is a one-year position.
Lecturers lead seminar discussions for courses that fulfill the freshman liberal arts requirement following the curricular tradition first established at Stanford in 1919. Lecturers teach two seminar discussion sections (averaging 15 students each) that meet twice weekly and coordinate with course lectures given by Stanford faculty.
Eligible candidates will be asked to provide evidence of teaching excellence and proof of intellectual flexibility as well as a strong record of scholarship. Other desired qualifications are: experience teaching first-year university students; familiarity with team teaching; and demonstrated experience with developing students’ skills in critical thinking, writing, listening, discussion, and analysis.
