The Spanish Department at Wake Forest University invites applications for an Assistant Teaching Professor in Spanish to join our faculty beginning July 1, 2023.

Successful applicants will have an M.A. at minimum, PhD preferred, in Spanish or a related field, as well as native or near-native fluency in both Spanish and English. Preference will be given to applicants with demonstrated experience teaching undergraduate Spanish language courses in a 4-year college or university setting and training or professional activity related to foreign language pedagogy.
