Frederick Douglass

Teaching Scholars Program Summer 2009

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) is offering summer teaching opportunities to graduate students entering the final year of terminal degree and doctoral programs and preparing to be college teachers. These summer teaching positions are available at various PASSHE universities throughout the state of Pennsylvania. Selected scholars will teach and/or co-teach one course during one of the two 5-week Summer Sessions. The respective dates vary among each university but run from May 2009 thru August 2009.

 

 In keeping with the spirit of Douglass’ life of public service, the Frederick Douglas Teaching Scholars

Summer Program is designed to provide graduate students teaching experiences and potential employment opportunities within university settings that are strongly committed to cultural diversity.  The  Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education is an Equal Opportunity Employer.  We encourage

applications from diverse candidates, especially candidates from historically under-represented groups

who will enrich the cultural diversity of our Universities.

 

Minimum requirements are: Applicants must be U.S. citizens. Enrollment into a doctoral program required and ABD or current doctorate degree preferred; academic background in one of the fields taught; and at least three favorable letters of recommendation from faculty or professionals in the student's field, including the student's advisor. Preferred: experience teaching or as teaching assistant. Scholars will be compensated as adjunct faculty, according to each university's collective bargaining agreement. Scholars may be expected to reside in on-campus residences or housing in an apartment that may be provided at no charge and to participate in campus activities. The appointment is for the scholar alone, not families, and scholars should have their own transportation. Priority consideration given to completed applications postmarked by November 1, 2008.

 

You must submit your application and all required materials to the university of your choice directly. You may apply to more than one university if you so choose. Copies of transcripts will be accepted during the application review and interview process, but OFFICIAL transcripts are REQUIRED PRIOR TO FINAL APPOINTMENT.
