Located on Chicago’s vibrantly multicultural North Side, LUC is committed to creating an inclusive, responsive community of faculty, students, and staff.

As an urban-based program dedicated to mentoring a diverse student body, many of whom come from underrepresented and underserved populations, we especially encourage applications from candidates from underrepresented groups.

This search is part of a University-wide, multiyear hiring initiative designed to hire outstanding researchers and teachers who are reflective of our diverse student body and committed to interdisciplinarity (i.

e., collaborating with colleagues across different subfields and disciplines). Of special interest are candidates who can further the University’s efforts to foster diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Teaching responsibilities include four courses in each semester of the academic year. We are particularly interested in candidates who can teach our first-year courses, which range chronologically from antiquity to today, and offer an updated Great Books curriculum.

The instructor will teach an entire cohort of approximately 320 first-year students in a team-taught course and lead multiple small discussion sections of twenty-five students or less.

As part of this teaching assignment, the incumbent will be required to attend several cultural events outside of class time throughout the academic year, such as attending the opera and visiting the Art Institute of Chicago.

Qualifications The candidate will have a Ph.D. in a field in the Humanities or Arts and must clearly demonstrate the potential for excellence in teaching and have a record of (or clear potential for) student mentorship.
