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. We seek a candidate who is able to support our program’s learning goals, including a commitment to educational equity and justice. We would also value a faculty member who has experience with philosophical, historical, geographical, participatory, quantitative, or other non-qualitative methodologies.
In addition to teaching in their area of expertise, the candidate should have the ability to teach our core courses (including our introductory urban education course with participant-observation placements in nearby Hartford public schools) and contribute to Trinity’s Community Action Gateway for first-year students. The teaching load is 2/2 for the first two years (and 3/2 thereafter), with a one-semester leave every fourth year. The successful candidate will be eligible for start-up research funds and annual funds toward conference travel. Faculty have excellent opportunities to collaborate with Trinity’s Center for Hartford Engagement and Research and the Center for Urban and Global Studies, among others.
Trinity is a highly selective, independent, nonsectarian liberal arts institution located in the capital city of Hartford, Connecticut. The college maintains a rigorous academic profile complemented by a vibrant co-curricular program. With more than 2,100 full-time undergraduate students, representing forty-three states and ninety-one countries, we consider our location in a culturally and socioeconomically diverse capital city to be among Trinity’s most distinctive assets; and we cultivate strong connections with our surrounding neighbors and with institutions and organizations throughout Hartford and the region. As a preeminent liberal arts college in an urban setting, Trinity College prepares students to be bold, independent thinkers who lead transformative lives.
Qualifications
Applicants should hold a doctorate in education or a related discipline before the position begins in August 2027.
Compensation
Competitive salary and benefits, plus start-up expense fund.
Special Instructions to Applicants
Please submit a cover letter, CV, statement of teaching philosophy (including your potential to teach and supervise undergraduates from all backgrounds), graduate school transcripts (official or unofficial), a sample syllabus, a writing sample, and contact information for three references. Applicants are asked to list contact information for reference providers, including email addresses. Once a completed dossier is submitted, automatic emails will be generated to each reference provider, directing each referee to a unique URL where the referee must upload a letter of recommendation. Applicants using Interfolio (or other dossier service) should provide the appropriate unique Interfolio email address for each reference letter writer.
Review of applications will begin on October 1. Please direct any questions to Elise Castillo, Search Committee Chair: elise.castillo@trincoll.edu.
