Position Title
ITALIC Lecturer
Location
Stanford University Main Campus
Position Description
Working closely with the teaching team of three Stanford faculty, the
program’s Assistant Director, and one other lecturer, the ITALIC lecturer
will lead two discussion sections of 15 students per quarter and offer
individualized instruction to his/her students. The lecturer will work
with freshmen in probing the nature of artistic and aesthetic invention,
discovery and issues.
Through a series of close investigations and analyses of major works and
ideas of the visual, performing and filmic arts, as well as instances of
the aesthetic in everyday life, this three-quarter class will question
what the cultivation of aesthetic perception, analysis, art making skills
and experience in art can bring to creativity and perception in important
areas of human endeavor outside of art.
Qualifications
The successful candidate will demonstrate excellence in college-level
teaching, both in small seminar style classes as well as larger lectures.
Must be sensitive to the particular demands of teaching freshmen in a
year-long, residence-based course, and committed to effective, engaging
pedagogy. Exceptional communication skills and experience in working
collaboratively and in team-taught courses is also highly desirable.
Evidence of distinction in relevant scholarship and research and (if
relevant) arts practice, is required. The successful candidate will hold
a Ph.D., M.F.A, M.A., or DMA in one of the Arts or affiliated fields (e.g.
Art History, Cultural Studies, American Studies, Music, Dance Studies,
Film Studies, and related arts and humanities disciplines), conferred no
later than June 2015.
