Core Texts and Ideas - 2026-27 Professional Track Faculty Pool

The Thomas Jefferson Center for the Study of Core Texts and Ideas seeks to develop a pool of candidates for possible temporary, non-tenured positions to teach undergraduate courses. Appointments are usually made on a semester-by-semester basis, though sometimes there is need for an annual appointment. Positions are contingent upon student enrollment, availability of funding, and performance.

A Ph.D. in a related field and a record of teaching excellence are preferred.
