Carthage College
Carthage College invites applications for a three-year teaching fellowship, starting August 2011, in the Western Heritage Program within the Division of Interdisciplinary Studies. With a terminal degree in any academic discipline by the time of appointment, the ideal candidate will be able to demonstrate excellence in analyzing primary texts of the Western tradition and potential for excellence in teaching such texts to first-year college students.
The successful candidate will teach two sections of Western Heritage per term, participate in and help lead faculty development activities, and deliver one public lecture per year. Since Western Heritage courses are at the core of the general education curriculum, ability to engage faculty across the curriculum is desirable. The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation generously has provided funding for this position. A full position description as well as information about the Western Heritage Program can be found at http://www.carthage.edu/western-heritage. Additional information is available at www.carthage.edu.
Salary and benefits will be commensurate with qualifications. The appointment will be at the rank of Visiting Assistant Professor.
Founded in 1847, Carthage is located on the shore of Lake Michigan, midway between Milwaukee and Chicago and offers quick urban access from the relaxed environment of a small

Application materials should include a cover letter, statement of teaching philosophy, curriculum vitae, and the names, addresses and phone numbers of three references. Materials can be sent as e-mail attachments (pdf-only) to Christopher Lynch, Chair, Interdisciplinary Studies at: bradleyfellows2010@carthage.edu.
