We are looking for candidates to contribute to teaching core courses, electives and senior thesis. The successful applicant should have a Ph.D. by September 1, 2019, an established record of teaching excellence and a strong research program.

Union College is a highly selective liberal arts college located in the Capital Region of the State of New York and offers highly competitive salary and benefits. Our teaching load is six courses over three ten-week terms per year, up to two of which may take the form of supervision of undergraduate theses. A faculty member normally teaches four classroom courses and supervises eight two-term senior theses per year. Applicants are invited to describe in their cover letter how they will advise undergraduate theses and how they may incorporate students in their own research.

Union College is an equal opportunity employer and strongly committed to student and workforce diversity. Union provides a blend of intellectual, social and cultural opportunities to facilitate the integrated academic, social and personal development of a diverse community.

Applicants should describe in their cover letter how their research, teaching and service might support the college’s commitment to diversity and inclusion.

Union College recognizes the rich possibilities of interdisciplinary studies by offering many opportunities for both faculty and students to engage with multiple disciplines - and each other - in collaborative classroom settings, innovative majors, and unique research initiatives.
