2024-2025 COLLEGE Fellowship (Stanford internal applicants only)

Civic, Liberal, and Global Education Fellowship (COLLEGE)

Stanford University

Teaching Positions for the First-Year Liberal Education Requirement

The Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education (VPUE) at Stanford University is now accepting applications for three-year teaching fellowship positions in the Civic, Liberal, and Global Education (COLLEGE) first-year requirement program. COLLEGE courses support first-year students in making a successful academic and personal transition to college-level learning. The fall and winter quarter seminars are taught through a single shared syllabus which invites students to examine the purpose of college and their own role in society and the world. In the spring, students are given greater choice (between 8 to 10 courses) that offer a more global perspective.  We seek candidates to teach in all three quarters of COLLEGE from all fields in the Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, and STEM, and especially value interdisciplinary scholarship and teaching.

The Fellowship is open only to internal Stanford candidates (current or recently graduated Stanford doctoral graduate students and current or recent Stanford postdoctoral scholars). We have a strong preference for candidates who will have a PhD by June 2024, or earned the PhD no earlier than 2018. 

We expect to hire 5-6 fellows for the three-year period from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027. Fellows receive an initial two-year contract and a final one-year contract. COLLEGE Fellows are full-time academic staff and receive standard Stanford employee benefits including health insurance. The salary will be at least $84,200 (paid over 12 months). Fellows have access to $2,000 each year to support research expenses.

Fellows typically teach 2 sections (~16 students) of the same course each quarter. Fellows will teach “Why College?” in the autumn; “Citizenship in the 21st Century” in the winter; and one of several Global Perspectives courses in the spring. All courses are team-taught, based on a shared syllabus, and teaching in the COLLEGE fellowship is highly collaborative, with weekly teaching team meetings, and regular all-fellows pedagogy workshops. The fellowship also encourages a research community among fellows, and supports professional development through funding, workshops, and individual coaching.
