Position Summary
The interdisciplinary Educational Studies Program at Trinity College, located in Hartford, Connecticut, seeks a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Community-Based Education. The successful candidate will contribute to Trinity’s strengths of community-engaged learning and high-quality liberal arts education by teaching and researching in the area of community-based education, broadly defined.
