Native American & Indigenous Studies or Latinx Studies

The Department of Studies in Race, Colonialism, and Diaspora (RCD) at Tufts University is seeking a part-time Lecturer to teach one introductory course for the Spring 2026 semester (01/14/26 - 05/08/2026) in areas of either Native American & Indigenous Studies or Latinx Studies. Candidates teaching at the intersection of these two interrelated fields are also encouraged to apply.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate a commitment to transformative pedagogy and the ability to teach introductory-level courses that align with the department's mission to critically examine race, colonialism, and diaspora across local and global contexts.

Candidates should be an advanced Ph.D. student (ABD) or hold a doctorate in a relevant field, and be able to provide evidence of excellence in teaching, including evidence of creative pedagogical practice that reflects knowledge of current methodologies. Evidence of a commitment to designing curricula that address issues of equity and justice with a focus on marginalized communities.

The application must submit to Interfolio at https://apply.interfolio.com/174547: a cover letter, CV, sample syllabi, a teaching statement, and contact information for three recommenders. Review will start immediately and continue until the position is filled. Questions may be directed to Robert Hitchner, at robert.hitchner@tufts.edu.

All offers of employment are contingent upon the completion of a background check by Tufts University.
