For the successful applicant with the relevant interests, affiliations are possible with the intercollegiate departments of Environmental Analysis, Media Studies, Africana Studies, Asian American Studies, Chican@/Latin@ Studies, Data Science, and/or the Intercollegiate Feminist Center for Teaching, Research, and Engagement.

We favor candidates who can contribute to the College's distinctive educational objectives, which promote interdisciplinary perspectives, intercultural understanding, and a concern with social justice and the ethical implications of knowledge and action. Pitzer College is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer.
A complete application will include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, selected evidence of excellence in teaching, a research statement, writing sample, and three letters of recommendation.
