Teaching Fellow (College Professor): Focus in Humanities, Moral Philosophy, Trivium

Position Description

A New College Franklin teaching fellow is a Protestant Christian committed to the worship of God, personal virtue, and the life of the mind. We are seeking someone who is inquisitive and eager to learn and one who is broadly read in the Western liberal arts tradition and the Great Ideas of literature, philosophy, theology, science, math, and history. This candidate will excel in asking penetrating questions of a text, listening to students, leading and encouraging extended discussion around texts and ideas, and helping students synthesize relevant information and aspects of the conversation. A New College Franklin professor’s primary calling should be to the classroom, leading students to develop intellectual and spiritual maturity. An interest in publishing, research, or academic development is encouraged but secondary to the intellectual and Christian life lived in a learning community that holds first place.

Teachers at New College Franklin can expect to teach outside of their area of expertise; new teachers will receive training in the breadth of curriculum, such as co-teaching and observing other classes. As such familiarity, curiosity, and the desire for truth take primacy over mastery and specialization.

Examples of degrees which suit this position include: Humanities, Literature, Philosophy, Mathematics, Classics, or Science

This candidate must be able to sign in good conscience our Statement of Faith and Faculty Code of Ethics, which can be found on our application.

Teaching fellows should have at least a master’s degree in a related field, with preference for a terminal degree. At least three years of teaching experience is preferred.
