Stanford University seeks 9 - 10 post-doctoral Teaching Fellows for 2006-07.

Teaching Fellows lead seminar discussions for Introduction to the
Humanities (IHUM) lecture courses that fulfill Stanford's year-long
liberal arts requirement for freshmen. IHUM courses build intellectual
foundations in humanistic study, and enhance skills in textual analysis,
reasoning, argumentation, and oral and written expression.

Interdisciplinary,thematic courses in autumn quarter are followed by
disciplinary two-quarter course sequences in winter and spring.

Information about IHUM courses can be found

members of the Stanford faculty in archeology, classics, comparative
literature, cultural and social anthropology, drama, English,
comparative studies in race and ethnicity, French and Italian, German,
history, music, philosophy, religious studies, and Slavic. Teaching
Fellows teach three seminar discussion sections each quarter (averaging
15 students) that meet twice weekly and coordinate with course lectures
given by faculty.

Teaching Fellows are appointed September 1, 2006, for a one-year term in
the 2006-2007 academic year. The position is renewable for up to two
additional years depending on programmatic need and job performance.

support is provided for fellows' research and scholarship as well as for
technology in teaching.
