Visiting Assistant Professor, TESOL, Fredonia University

About the job:   Fredonia (fredonia.edu)  is hiring a visiting assistant professor for within the TESOL program which is housed in our Department of Language, Learning, and Leadership, for the 2014-2015 year.   

I'm currently the Program Coordinator and I'm working towards creating a new program that  expands what we currently offer, which at the moment consists of two options: certification in TESOL K-12 for those with current certification and those without.  Without getting into too much detail,  I am looking for someone to be able to teach courses but also help in this growth, and so I'm interested in seeing people's area of expertise.   There is no guarantee (as usual with VAP positions), but it is very likely this would become a tenure-track position after that year.    It will offer a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.

This is preferably for someone to start in Fall 2014, but if there is no final candidate we would hold off for a Spring 2015 start (e.g., January 2015).

Our ideal candidate would be someone who:

•  is currently in a doc program (e.g., someone currently working on their dissertation who can do it remotely would work well)  or someone who has recently finished and still looking for a job.
• has or is working towards a PhD in applied linguistics (any sub-field), C&I, bilingual ed, TESOL, or related field 
• is willing to live here in Chautauqua County, New York  (about 45 min-60 min. west of Buffalo, on Lake Erie; an hour east of Erie, PA;  two hours outside of Cleveland, OH and Toronto, Canada)
• has teaching experience, either at the K-12 level (preferred) or university level.  International experience is fine. 

I would simply need their CV sent to me at this point in time, if they were interested.   I've attached a document with a bit more info about our university and area.

Sincerely,

Karen
