Descripción 

The Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Wellesley College invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Mexican Literary and Cultural Studies beginning Fall 2025.

A special strength of Wellesley is our diverse student body: 64% of the class of 2027 identify as students of color; students come from all 50 states plus DC, Guam, and Puerto Rico and 33 countries; 23% identify as first-generation college students; and almost 60% of our students receive financial aid. The Department of Spanish and Portuguese is devoted to improving equity and enhancing student experiences of community, engagement, and belonging. We believe that diversity is central to intellectual growth and development. We are committed to embracing and supporting the identities, abilities, life experiences, and aspirations of every community member.

The successful candidate will be expected to teach four courses per year. 

Requisitos 

Applicants should have native or near-native fluency in Spanish. Evidence of scholarly promise and excellent teaching at the undergraduate level is requisite, as is familiarity with language pedagogy and commitment to teaching language, literature, and culture at all levels. We seek a dynamic scholar in Mexican Literary and Cultural Studies specializing in the 20th and 21st centuries. An interdisciplinary understanding of the field is highly desirable. Areas of specialization may include Race and Ethnic Studies, Border Studies, Gender and Sexuality Studies, or Theater and Performance Studies.
