- Arts and Cultures

Liberal Studies at New York University invites applications for
three Postdoctoral Faculty Fellow positions to begin September 1,
2022, pending administrative and budgetary approval.

The Liberal Studies Core is a dynamic liberal arts curriculum that
provides a global and interdisciplinary foundation for nearly 100
NYU majors. The curriculum emphasizes conceptual and spatial
frameworks to trace the movement of ideas and the interconnectivity
of material culture, through the study of different texts,
histories, exchanges, structures and systems, languages, arts, and
writing from early antiquity through contemporary times. Small
seminar-style classes and close faculty-student interaction ensure
the benefits of a liberal arts college within a large urban
research university. We are especially interested in hiring
qualified candidates who can contribute through their research,
teaching and service to the diversity and excellence of the Liberal
Studies community.

Liberal Studies Postdoctoral Faculty Fellows teach one course for
the first semester, and two courses for each subsequent semester in
the Core Curriculum. Fellows work closely with an assigned Faculty
Mentor, they attend pedagogy workshops that explore innovative
approaches to interdisciplinary global teaching, and they have the
opportunity to lead faculty development workshops or host program
wide events in their area of scholarly, creative, or pedagogical
expertise. Fellows are appointed for two years, renewable for a
third year based on performance and programmatic need; they are
non-tenure track and non-renewable beyond the third year.

We seek applicants for the following positions:

Writing:

Ph.D. in Writing Studies, Translation Studies, Creative Writing, or
related field. Candidates must have the ability to teach in the
first year writing sequence of the Core Curriculum with a global,
interdisciplinary, and intersectional emphasis.

Arts and Cultures:

PhD in Classics, English, Comparative Literature, World Literature,
Art History, Anthropology with arts focus, or related field.
Candidates must have the ability to primary texts and arts produced
across the globe in a variety of media from antiquity to the early
18th century in the Arts and Cultures sequence of the Core
Curriculum. Candidates must have the ability to ground analysis of
artistic traditions and historical events in the global themes of
each era with an emphasis on cross-cultural exchange.

Minimum qualifications: Successful candidates will have received
the Ph.D. no more than three years before taking up the
appointment, and must have a Ph.D. in hand by the date of
appointment. We are especially interested in qualified candidates
who share Liberal Studies' commitment to diversity, equity, and
inclusion, and who can contribute to the diversity of intellectual
life in LS and NYU. Candidates must present demonstrated experience
and commitment to interdisciplinarity, intersectionality, and a
teaching approach informed by global perspectives. Commitment to
excellence in undergraduate teaching required; some college-level
teaching experience, and evidence of outstanding scholarship and
relevant professional activity are desirable.

Salary is $50,000 p.a. plus University benefits. Fellows will be
provided with offices, computers, and professional development
funds.

Applications include ONLY (1) a cover letter, (2) a current c.v.,
and (3) a Diversity and Inclusion Statement addressing past and/or
potential future contributions to diversity through teaching,
professional activity, and/or service (additional information can
