POSITION SPECIFICS The Penn State Humanities Institute (HI) at The Pennsylvania State University invites applications for a full-time Assistant or Associate Teaching Faculty position, to start the fall 2027 semester. This position will oversee our Public Humanities Fellowship Program and teach the core courses in the program. These courses are co-taught with a media and communications specialist from the Donald P. Bellisario College of Communications. The Public Humanities Fellowship Program works with undergraduate and graduate students in the theory and practice of public humanities in the service of social justice and social change. The objectives of the program are to equip students with skills to facilitate community-engaged public humanities projects and provide the means to produce digital materials such as short film/documentaries, podcasts, and online exhibitions that explore and expand on issues of social importance. Students are required to complete two courses for the Fellowship. A fall semester introductory course, Media, Social Justice, and the Public Humanities, provides an overview of public humanities work and trains students in multi-media production, resulting in a short media production by the students done in partnership with a university or community partner. In the spring, Capstone Experience in Public Humanities enables students to develop their own projects under the tutelage of the co-instructors. We seek candidates who have a background in the humanities emphasizing public engagement (“public philosophy”, “public (or oral) history”, etc.), have experience with community-based learning projects, and demonstrate a strong research profile in these areas. The ideal candidate will also have a demonstrated commitment to building collaborations with on- and off-campus partners and teams, and a dedication to matters of social importance. This position will be responsible for all public humanities content for the courses as well as guiding students with their independent projects and in community-engaged partnerships. The successful candidate will build, promote, and advance the program and the Institute’s community engaged profile in creative ways. (The media and communications specialist who co-instructs the courses will provide all content and skills training regarding students’ digital and mass media project development.) The HI welcomes applications from scholars with a terminal degree in any field in the humanities. Degree is required by the appointment date. Rank and length of term are determined by education and qualifications. Attention will be given to those applicants who focus on public engagement in their fields (public philosophy, oral history, e.g.). Interested candidates must submit an online application at Penn State’s job posting board and should include (1) a CV, (2) contact information for two references, and (3) a cover letter describing how you are suited for the position and detailing your area(s) of expertise and training. It is expected that this position will be in residence at the HI for the appointment period and take part in the intellectual life of campus by working with faculty and students, attending symposia and events, and contributing to meetings and discussions presented by HI. For questions, email: [email protected]. The College of the Liberal Arts is committed to offering professional growth and promotional opportunities for non-tenure-line faculty appointments.  Information on faculty ranks and progression can be found at https://policy.psu.edu/policies/ac21 BACKGROUND CHECKS/CLEARANCES Employment with the University will require successful completion of background check(s) in accordance with University policies.
