The Italian Studies program in the Department of French and Italian seeks to fill a continuing non-tenure track, four-fifths-time position at the level of Assistant Professor or Instructor, beginning September 1, 2009. PhD preferred, ABD considered. Continuing faculty, typically on three-year renewable contracts, are valued members of the academic community at Colby, and enjoy many of the same benefits as tenure-track faculty, including support for conference travel, research funds, sabbaticals, and promotions. The successful candidate will be part of an energetic department committed to providing the best possible instruction to talented undergraduates. We are particularly interested in individuals with a strong background in language instruction and a field of research that will complement existing program strengths in modern and contemporary Italian literature and cinema (e.g., medieval or Renaissance). Excellent organizational skills and administrative experience are also highly desirable. Teaching load is four courses per year, including language, literature and culture courses at the beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels.
For full consideration, send a complete application including a curriculum vitae; a letter of application describing teaching philosophy, teaching experience and research interests; evidence of teaching effectiveness, including a representative sample of course evaluations if available; a brief sample of scholarly writing; and three letters of recommendation.
