Part-time Instructor Language and Culture Classes in Hebrew

The Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures at Colorado State University is seeking applications for a part-time instructor for new language and culture classes in Hebrew. Applicants will be considered on a rolling basis, and we would like to fill the position quickly. We would encourage potential applicants to apply as soon as possible.

Courses aim to advance student proficiency in speaking, listening, reading, and writing, while introducing students to contemporary Israeli and Jewish diaspora culture, Israeli identity, and current events in the Middle East.

While long-term goals include the development of a program, the course offerings are still limited. So we are looking to hire an instructor to teach first-year Hebrew (LHEB 100-101), but we are hoping to supplement those courses by offering the instructor courses in other areas.

For this reason, candidates who are able to teach another one of the languages offered by our department––American Sign Language, Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latin, Russian, and Spanish––are especially welcome as are candidates who would be able to offer English-language courses on the Holocaust, Israeli-Palestinian or Jewish cultures in Film, world cinema, and others.
