This is a full-time, 9-month position, renewable pending a review during its third year.
University of Washington faculty engage in teaching, scholarship, and service. Our faculty, staff, and students are intellectually engaged with the ways that race, gender identity, sexuality, ability, class, and ethnicity intersect and shape the human experience, both within the educational experience and outside of it. Through this work, we encourage all members of the Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures to think critically about the world around them.
Responsibilities will include teaching elementary and intermediate-level language courses, as well as additional content courses on Persian and Iranian culture to be determined in consultation with the MELC department. The successful candidate will be expected to develop curricular materials, including digital instructional tools, to assist in program building, and to engage in community and campus outreach.

The base salary range for this position will be $6,773 - $9,000 per month on a 9-month basis ($60,957 - $81,000 annually), commensurate with experience and qualifications, or as mandated by a U.S. Department of Labor prevailing wage determination.
