Teaching experience within a liberal arts context or familiarity with liberal arts education is desirable. Interdisciplinary interest in the social sciences and a proven capacity for engaged teaching and research is an asset. The candidate must be able to speak and write in fluent English. French fluency is not required, but is a plus. Ability in other languages, notably non-European languages, also constitutes a plus.
