Category: Faculty

Department: Department of Romance Languages, Harpur
College

Locations: Binghamton, NY

Position ID: 205353

The Department of Romance Languages and Literatures at Binghamton
University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant
Professor of Spanish specializing in Golden Age literature. We seek
a scholar whose research and teaching focus on Spanish literature
of the sixteenth and/or seventeenth centuries and who can
contribute broadly to our undergraduate and graduate curriculum in
Spanish literature and culture.

The successful candidate will be prepared to teach courses in
Golden Age literature, including works by major authors such as
Miguel de Cervantes, Pedro Calderón de la Barca, Garcilaso de la
Vega, Luis de Góngora, Lope de Vega, Tirso de Molina, and Francisco
de Quevedo. Scholars whose research and teaching extend into
Medieval Spanish literature or Transatlantic Studies are especially
encouraged to apply. We particularly welcome candidates whose work
engages literature through interdisciplinary approaches or across
historical periods. The position calls for a scholar who will bring
new perspectives to the study of Spanish literature and
demonstrates innovative approaches to teaching that engage students
and connect the study of earlier periods to contemporary
intellectual and cultural questions. The teaching load for this
position is two Spanish courses per semester.

The Department of Romance Languages consists of 30 faculty members
across Spanish, French, and Italian. Our department teaches more
than 1,000 students each semester and offers a variety of
extracurricular programs for additional exposure to language and
culture outside the classroom. Students can major or minor in any
of our languages. Our Spanish division also offers three distinct
courses for heritage speakers of the language. Within Harpur
College of Arts and Sciences, Spanish is the second most commonly
declared minor among students. We offer a range of graduate
options, including 4+1 and traditional Master of Arts degrees in
each of our languages, as well as a Master of Arts in Teaching in
Spanish and French. Our faculty regularly collaborate with other
units on campus, including the Center for Medieval and Renaissance
Studies, the Translation Research and Instruction Program, the
Latin American and Caribbean Studies Program, and the Linguistics
Program. Additional information about the Department is available
