Description:

John Jay College of Criminal Justice is a senior college of the City
University of New York (CUNY) and an internationally recognized leader in
educating for justice. Led by President Karol V. Mason, John Jay is a
federally designated Hispanic-serving institution, it is ranked third in the
nation in Black student success, and it is a top ten institution for promoting
student social mobility. John Jay is proud to serve a diverse and dynamic
student body of 15,000 students that includes nearly fifty percent students
who are first in their family to attend college as well as students who are
immigrants, from low-income families, or from other historically
underrepresented groups in higher education.

The College participates in the doctoral programs of the Graduate Center of
CUNY and offers bachelor’s and master’s degrees both in traditional criminal
justice-related fields of study as well as in a robust portfolio of liberal
arts and sciences programs that highlight themes of justice across the arts,
sciences, humanities, and social sciences. The College seeks staff and faculty
members who thrive in multicultural academic environments and are committed to
access and excellence in higher education.

Position Overview: 
The Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at John Jay College-CUNY
seeks an instructor at the rank of Lecturer with experience teaching Spanish
for heritage learners. Experience in teaching translation and interpreting is
a plus. The position of Lecturer is tenure-bearing through what is called a
“certificate of continuous employment” (CCE) after the sixth annual
reappointment. 

The appointed faculty member will perform teaching and related faculty
functions in their area(s) of expertise. Coordinate language courses. Share
responsibility for departmental and College committee work and other duties as
assigned by the chair. The hiring committee is especially interested in
applicants who contribute to the diversity mission of the college through
their leadership, community service, research, and/or lived experiences.

Candidates are expected to bring enthusiasm and a demonstrated commitment to
teaching. Forty-seven percent of John Jay students are first-generation
college students, and John Jay is a recognized Hispanic and Minority-Serving
Institution. The successful candidate must be eager and qualified to work with
our diverse student body, and have a demonstrated commitment to diversity,
equity, and inclusion. As demonstrated in John Jay College’s Seven Principles
for a Culturally Responsive, Inclusive, and Anti-Racist Curriculum
(http://www.jjay.cuny.edu/sites/default/files/u1862/principles_for_a_culturall
y_responsive_inclusive_and_antiracist_curriculum_adopted_by_college_council_ap
ril8_2021.pdf), the College seeks a faculty member who thrives in a
multicultural, collaborative academic environment and is committed to both
access and excellence in higher education.
