This position is federally funded through the Title III Strengthening Institutions Program (SIP) grant: Revitalizing Enrollment, Retention, and Degree Completion at Guilford College. Awarded to extend five years, through September 2025, which is the expected term of assignment, the continuation of the federal funding for this position is subject to the yearly approval for release of awarded funds based on the College's fulfillment of the grant's stated outcomes.

Preference will be given to candidates who can also contribute to a related disciplinary or interdisciplinary program (i.e.; Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Environmental Studies, Public Health, African and African American Studies). The candidate will teach place-based experiential courses, courses in their area of specialization, and mentor interdisciplinary undergraduate research projects. Prior experience in developing, leading, and assessing similar programs a plus.
Additional Duties

Must be prepared to take on responsibilities for the administration of the program after the second year of appointment. Participate in faculty governance and service on academic committees.
Please submit a cover letter that includes a statement of specialty areas, statement of teaching philosophy and experience, research state, CV, academic transcripts, and three letters of recommendation by March 31, 2021 to Dr. Marlene McCauley through the Guilford.edu/jobs web portal.
