Lecturer in Spanish

The Amherst College Department of Spanish invites applications for a lecturer in Spanish, with the appointment to begin in July 2018. This is a full-time appointment with an initial three-year term and the possibility of renewal for an additional three-year term as a lecturer, which is typically followed by five-year renewable appointments as a senior lecturer. Reappointments are contingent upon positive reviews. 

The successful candidate will be expected to teach three courses (or their equivalent) per semester of Spanish language and culture and to contribute to the long-term health and stability of a small but thriving Spanish program. Requirements include a Ph.D. in Spanish, applied linguistics, language pedagogy, or related field by the time of the appointment; native or near-native language skills in Spanish and English; a record of teaching excellence; and demonstrated knowledge or experience with a proficiency-based approach to the teaching of Spanish.
