The Program of International and Global Studies in the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Arkansas has an opening for an Instructor of Global and International Studies. The International and Global Studies Program in the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Arkansas invites application for a non-tenure track instructor in international studies to start in August 2025. This is a standard nine-month faculty appointment with a teaching load of 4-4. 

Initial appointment is for a period of up to three academic years. The opportunity for reappointment will be based on performance and continued need. To be considered for up to a three-year appointment, candidates should provide at least three years of evaluation as instructor of record illustrating high quality teaching effectiveness.

Regular, reliable, and non-disruptive attendance is an essential job duty, as is the ability to create and maintain collegial, harmonious working relationships with others.

We seek a candidate with a strong and developing national reputation, one who demonstrates curiosity in emerging technologies and novel methodological approaches. In regard to specialization, the search is open, but we are particularly interested in candidates with relevant research and teaching experience in International Development and/or Sustainability. To be considered, candidates should have a Master’s degree in a relevant field (e.g., History, Political Science, International Relations, World Languages and Literatures, or Geography) and demonstrated commitment to excellence in teaching. The successful candidate will teach classes consisting of introductory courses in International and Global Studies and some courses related to their specific field of study within the parameters of our current concentrations (European and Transatlantic Affairs; Peace, Security, and Human Rights; Global South). We encourage applications from all qualified candidates, especially individuals who contribute to the excellence of our campus community. https://international-studies.uark.edu/
