Field Methods. Opportunities exist to contribute to our dynamic new general

well as American Studies, Anthropology and Latin American Studies. 

Required Qualifications: Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Spanish, Linguistics,
or a related field at the time of appointment August 10, 2018. 

Candidates must possess the skills to teach Hispanic language and culture at
