Adjunct Faculty Jobs

The Humanities and Arts Department at Worcester Polytechnic Institute is regularly seeking part-time adjunct faculty to teach History (HI) courses. History faculty teach introductory courses, intermediate thematic surveys, and advanced topic seminars. WPI’s History program has particular strengths in American, European, East Asian, Latin American, and global histories; the histories of science and technology; urban and environmental histories; imperial and postcolonial histories; and race, gender, and social movements. We are looking for outstanding scholars, but successful candidates must also demonstrate teaching excellence and versatility as well as an ability to jump into an existing curriculum with creative and critical pedagogical approaches. A successful candidate should hold a PhD in History. Submitting an application through this part-time posting will place you in an applicant pool to fill History adjunct faculty positions on an as needed basis. Specific topics and start dates will vary over the academic year. Qualified applicants from this applicant pool will be contacted as opportunities arise. Your application will remain in the pool until the posting closes. If you wish to be considered for positions beyond that date, then you must reapply.
