University of South Florida - Sarasota, College of Liberal Arts & Social Sciences
History - Visiting Instructor
Institution Type: | College / University |
Location: | Florida, United States |
Position: | Instructor |
We are seeking a Visiting Instructor whose primary research concerns any topic related to the history of the United States in the 20th Century, but whose teaching experience and interests are sufficiently broad to offer upper-level courses in the history of the U.S. While this is a teaching appointment, USFSM values the practice of scholarly research and strives to develop this competency in its students. Accordingly, this Instructor will be expected to model current practice in all classes, but s/he will also be joined by a senior colleague whose primary expertise is in the history of Europe, from ancient times through the 20th century. Moreover, s/he will be encouraged to engage in individually-designed projects with students in an established Honors program, and History students at USFSM have traditionally been among the best prepared and most dedicated students on this campus (a regional campus of the University of South Florida System, with separate accreditation and budgeting). The teaching load is four courses per semester, with an average class size of 15 students. There is a possibility of annual renewal of the position up to 3 years.
