The Department of Hispanic Studies at Davidson College, a highly-selective
liberal arts college 20 miles north of Charlotte, NC, seeks to hire a
Lecturer, Lower- Division Spanish Language Coordinator of Hispanic Studies.
This non-tenure track position will initially be a three-year appointment,
with the expectation, upon satisfactory review, of multi-year contracts moving
forward

The teaching load is 6 courses annually. Coordinating elementary through
intermediate Spanish language, however, will earn a one course release
yielding a teaching load of 5 courses annually. The successful candidate must
provide evidence of a record of excellence in Spanish language teaching at the
undergraduate level.

As the Spanish language coordinator, the candidate will be responsible for
continuing:
- To build, evaluate, and maintain a cohesive three-semester language
sequence;
- To develop the student Assistant Teacher (AT) training program--including
recruitment, selection and training of ATs; to place incoming students into
elementary and intermediate language classes; and
- To assess the learning outcomes of language courses.

Additional responsibilities include mentoring students and participation in
departmental and college-wide initiatives that support Hispanic Studies.
Professional development will be expected and supported in the area of
Second-Language Pedagogy. The Language Coordinator will work closely with
other language instructors and will report to the Chair of Hispanic Studies.

Qualifications:
- Native or near-native fluency in Spanish and English required.
- MA required, with preference given to candidates with a degree in Applied
Linguistics or Second-Language Acquisition in Spanish.
- Demonstrated knowledge and experience with best practices in language
pedagogy, including assessment tools, and a record of excellence in Spanish
language teaching.

Please submit the following materials:
Qualified applicants should apply online at the application link provided
below and provide the following application materials:
- A cover letter,
- A detailed curriculum vitae,
- A 1-2 page statement of teaching experience and philosophy, and 
- A 1-2 page diversity statement that outlines how your professional work
might contribute to Davidson's institutional commitment to diversity and
inclusion.
- The candidate will also include unofficial undergraduate and graduate
transcripts and three letters of recommendation in support of the applicant.

The application form will request the names and email addresses for three
references, from whom letters of recommendation will be solicited by our
system.

Candidates may also be asked to submit further evidence of effective teaching,
including teaching evaluations (peer reviews and/or student course
evaluations) and sample syllabi.

Review of applications will begin the 22nd of November; preference will be
given to those received by November 22, 2019.

At Davidson College, we believe the college grows stronger by recruiting and
retaining a diverse faculty and staff committed to building an inclusive
community. In order to achieve and sustain educational excellence, we seek to
hire talented faculty and staff across the intersections of diverse races,

socio-economic backgrounds, political perspectives, abilities, cultures, and
national origins.
