Job Title:

Halftime Guest Faculty in Labor/Labor Economics 2023-2024

Guest Faculty

Non-Tenure Track

The Economics Program at Sarah Lawrence College seeks a halftime, one-year guest faculty member to teach labor-related courses. The successful candidate will teach courses that contextualize the situation of US workers within broader trends of globalization and technological change, acquaint students with the basics of US and international labor law/labor accords and US labor history, and examine intra-labor dynamics along the axes of race, gender, and other systems of power.

Sarah Lawrence College works on a conference system. Most courses are conference seminars that meet twice weekly accompanied by half-hour meetings every other week with each student to assist with a research project connected to the course. Group-based service-learning projects are also an option. Conference seminars are generally capped at fifteen students. Many courses are yearlong, though semester-long courses are also a possibility. The guest faculty member would be responsible for one yearlong or two semester-long conference seminars or service-learning courses.

Candidates should submit a C.V., proposed syllabi for either a yearlong seminar/service-learning course or two one-semester courses, a statement of teaching philosophy, a writing sample, and, if available, a summary of past course evaluations.

Review of applications will begin on Friday, February 3, 2023. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.

Ph.D., ABD, J..D., or related terminal degree is required at time of appointment.

Connections with local unions and worker centers in Lower Westchester or NYC would enable service-learning placements and would be strongly preferred.

Exceptions to this requirement will only be considered for documented medical reasons or sincerely held religious beliefs.
