The Department of Modern Languages at DePaul University invites applications

Responsibilities Include:
- Developing and teaching three courses in the Department of Modern Languages.

students. The course load associated with this position will also be
strategically managed to maximize enrollments in the language area of the
faculty 
- Working closely with affiliated faculty to design and propose MOL’s new
Certificate of Translation and Interpretation, which will be offered to
language majors, language minors from across the university, and to external
audiences starting in AY 2020-2021
- Recruiting, training, mentoring, managing, and evaluating TIC interns as
they work on their TIC projects (possibility for credit)
- Overseeing relationships with the community-based organizations (currently
twenty-five) that provide projects for TIC interns and other students
- Overseeing and coordinating collaborations with internal curricular and
co-curricular partners (like the College of Law or the Applied Diplomacy

- Managing all administrative and marketing work associated with the TIC
(maintenance of the website, publicity outreach, updating the D2L website,
purchasing materials)
- Working closely via the TIC committee with affiliated faculty in identifying
and meeting TIC’s curricular and service goals, including collaboration in
seeking grant funds to support scholarships for interns and professional
workshops.

We seek an individual who will enhance the university and the department’s
commitment to representing a rich diversity of faculty and research interests.
We seek candidates whose expertise would complement the existing strengths of
the department and the university, especially with regard to the university’s
urban, Vincentian mission, including those whose work crosses traditional
disciplinary boundaries.

- Translation, Interpretation, and Transcription in the legal, academic and
social service fields
- Program administration, including day to day activities, website management,
