*****JOB ANNOUNCEMENT*****

STANFORD UNIVERSITY

LECTURERS FOR THE INTRODUCTION TO THE HUMANITIES PROGRAM

Stanford University seeks a number of lecturers to lead discussion
sections in conjunction with courses offered in its Introduction to the
Humanities Program, a part of Stanford Introductory Studies.

Introduction to the Humanities (IHUM) courses fulfill the Area One
requirement, the first of Stanford's undergraduate General Education
Requirements.  They aim to build intellectual foundations in humanistic
study and enhance skills in analysis, reasoning, argumentation, and oral
and written expression.  IHUM courses are multi-disciplinary.  Candidates
are sought with doctoral degrees in humanities disciplines, including but
not limited to those with special interest in literary studies,
anthropology, German studies, classics, Islamic studies, Slavic studies,
and musicology.

Lecturers will assist faculty members in developing course materials; lead
three discussion sections (averaging 15 students), each meeting twice
weekly; and grade student work.  Lecturers should acculturate students to
university-level academic work and familiarize them with skills and
approaches appropriate to humanistic disciplines. Information about the
program, search updates and answers to frequently asked questions can be
found at http://ihum.stanford.edu

Appointments of lecturers will be made for a one-year term in the
2003-2004 academic year, with a start date in mid-August, 2003.  The
position is renewable for up to two additional years upon application,
with the possibility of one-quarter research leaves in the second and
third years.

Send letter of application, curriculum vitae, three letters of reference,
and evidence of teaching excellence (e.g., evaluations, faculty
references, etc.), by April 10, 2003 to IHUM Fellows Search Committee, c/o
Ms. Susan Rose, Introduction to the Humanities Program Office, 250-251J,
Stanford, CA 94305-2020.

As a private institution, Stanford University has a strong and ongoing
commitment to the principle of diversity.  In that spirit, we encourage
applications from women, members of ethnic minority groups, and disabled
individuals.
