The Lauder Institute and the Department of Romance Languages at the University of Pennsylvania invite applications for a full-time appointment as Lecturer A in French. The lecturer will teach three courses per semester and is expected to begin in August 2021, though an earlier start date may be possible.

Candidates must have native or near-native fluency in French and an excellent command of English. Certification as an ACTFL/ILR tester and rater and familiarity with standards-based instruction are highly desired, as is experience as a language coordinator.

Vision
As engines of knowledge and new ideas, universities have the unique potential to define the future rather than be defined by it; to pioneer change rather than merely manage it. To do so requires a plan both visionary and pragmatic. The Penn Compact 2022 motivates community members to innovate, be radically inclusive, and positively impact their local, national, and global communities.
Penn’s fundamental priorities — increasing access, integrating knowledge and engaging locally, nationally and globally — are supported by the three core values that make us uniquely Penn: inclusion, innovation, and impact.

Diversity
Understanding and appreciating diversity is one of Penn's most important priorities and is fundamental to success in today's world.
Penn adheres to a policy that prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, creed, national or ethnic origin, citizenship status, age, disability, veteran status, or any other legally protected class.
