The Office of the Provost is seeking applications for an Instructor position in 1 credit integrating seminar associated with the Sophomore Service-Learning Community.

The role of the instructor is to ensure that students' reflection is continuous, connected and relevant to the issues in the common syllabus and their work in the community. The instructor takes an active role and at other times supports the student teaching assistants to direct or deepen the conversation toward the required readings or the target issue. The seminar models the kind of conversation that we hope students will have in their own time. It is a place to be in dialogue with ourselves, our questions, our experience and learning that influences our own thinking (unconscious bias and mythology) and policies and social practices (rhetoric) that does not serve the common good. (Common Good-a condition in which all people can flourish).

Villanova is a Catholic university sponsored by the Augustinian Order. The University is an equal opportunity employer and seeks candidates who understand, respect and can contribute to the University's mission and values.
