Post-Doctoral Teaching Fellows for Introduction to the Humanities

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 at
http://ihum.stanford.edu/courses.html.

Teaching Fellows work closely with each other on teaching teams and with 
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. Starting 
salary will
be approximately $40,000. Professional development support is provided for
fellows' research and scholarship as well as for technology in teaching.
Eligibility requirements include: Ph.D. filed by June, 2006; strong 
record of
humanities scholarship; and evidence of teaching excellence. Other desired
qualifications are: experience in teaching first-year university students;
