The Department of History in the College of Liberal Arts at the
University of Minnesota occasionally needs teaching specialists or
lecturers to teach courses that cannot be staffed by regular
faculty or graduate students. Openings of this kind sometimes occur
for teaching evening and summer sessions, as well as day courses
and courses offered through Independent and Distance Learning. The
courses are primarily introductory or survey courses. These
positions are temporary and part-time. This does not constitute a
posting for vacancies, but establishes a "pool" of instructors for
Academic Year 2022-23. Applicants will be selected from this pool
on an as-needed basis throughout the academic year. Teaching
specialists and lecturers will be expected to teach undergraduate
or graduate students in assigned course(s), hold office hours to
assist and advise students, and participate in relevant
departmental meetings.
Qualifications
Minimum Qualifications:
ABD or PhD degree in History or related field with at least two
years of teaching experience. Excellent verbal and written
communication skills.
Preferred Qualifications:
Five years of college-level teaching experience. Preference will be
given to applicants with knowledge and/or training in the
University of Minnesota teaching methodology. Must be capable or
delivering high-quality instruction to a diverse student body.
Applicants who are ABD will be appointed at the Teaching Specialist
level; those with a Ph.D. will be appointed at the Lecturer
level.

cultivated its special role within the liberal arts and pursued its
mission with great distinction. We are proud of what we have
accomplished and eagerly look forward to building on this legacy of
excellence as we move through the twenty-first century. History
Department faculty members share a uniform enthusiasm for
scholarship and a dedication to research and publication. They have
pursued historical evidence "in the field" in Northern China and
Southern Africa, in archives in Paris and Nantucket, in libraries
in Hangzhou and Dublin. The sources they study include ancient
cuneiform tablets and Soviet newspapers, census records and science
fiction, interviews and trial transcripts.
At Minnesota, we see scholarship, teaching, service, and outreach
to the community in Minnesota and beyond as mutually reinforcing.
All members of the faculty teach at all levels from freshmen
surveys through graduate seminars. Many faculty members have won
awards in recognition of the high quality of their scholarship,
teaching, and advising, and research. They have received
fellowships from the most prestigious foundations and government
granting agencies. We have a lively community of graduate student
scholar-teachers. Our undergraduate major prepares some of the best
students in the College of Liberal Arts for a variety of careers.
Faculty and students are engaged in a variety of outreach and
service learning projects that bring historical scholarship and a
sense of the past to the wider community.
