Classes in our thriving Spanish program are capped at 15 students and typically meet twice a week for 85 minutes per session; the courses also involve 1-on-1 biweekly meetings of 30 minutes with students. These individual meetings are designed for students to work on a semester-long independent project related to the course content with the faculty. We seek an instructor dedicated to imparting the rigorous language skills that will support our students in their work at the College and at our study abroad programs in Havana and Barcelona, as well as furthering our students’ interest in Spanish and Global Hispanophone cultures more generally.

Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time. This is an in-person teaching appointment, with the expectation that the appointed individual will teach on campus for the duration of the contract period.
