Description

The Department of Spanish and Portuguese invites applications for one or more positions as part-time or full-time Lecturers in Spanish, expected to begin September 1, 2026, or during the 2026-27 academic year, with the potential for renewal depending on departmental need and satisfactory performance. Any appointments are subject to enrollments and may be for one or two semesters during the 2026-27 academic year.

Qualifications
Native or near-native fluency in Spanish and English, and proven experience in teaching Spanish at the university level, are absolutely essential. Master’s degree or enrollment in a Ph.D. program required; Ph.D. or M.A. working toward Ph.D. preferred. Preference will be given to candidates with a background in Linguistics, SLA, or Applied Linguistics, although other fields will also be considered when there is evidence of sustained experience teaching Spanish at the university level. Proven experience in coordination (course, level, or program) and curriculum development will be a plus.

Applications must include the following items:

1. Curriculum vitae, including description of teaching experience
2. Cover letter
3. Teaching portfolio, including teaching philosophy, teacher evaluations, and sample syllabi and materials (lesson plans, reading guides, exams) developed by the candidate
4. Contact information for three professional references. No letters of recommendation are required at this time.

Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until any positions are filled. Applications will be reviewed based on curricular need, and only candidates selected for an interview will be contacted.

These positions are subject to the University's background check policy. The work location for these positions is in-person on campus at Princeton University.

Term positions of one year or less are not eligible for sponsorship of an H-1B visa requiring consular processing.
