Part-time Art History Instructor, Loyola University Chicago

Dear Colleagues,The Art History Program in the Department of Fine and Performing Arts at Loyola University Chicago is seeking a qualified instructor for a short-term, part-time teaching appointment to cover one or more courses during a colleague's medical leave from October 12 through November 9, with the possibility of an additional week depending on the recovery timeline. All courses are taught in person on Loyola's Lakeshore Campus in Chicago.We welcome inquiries from candidates interested in teaching one, some, or all of the courses listed below. Because the position covers a limited portion of the semester and extensive course materials are already in place, this opportunity may be particularly suitable for advanced doctoral candidates, recent Ph.D.s, adjunct faculty, or scholars seeking short-term teaching experience.To support a smooth transition, we can provide complete syllabi, assignments, course materials, and instructional guidance for all courses. In addition, the survey courses (FNAR 201 and FNAR 202) already include pre-recorded lecture content, so the primary responsibilities would involve facilitating class discussions, leading student activities, and managing discussion board participation. The upper-level course, FNAR 356: Women, India, and Visual Culture, centers on guided discussions of readings and films.If you are interested, please send a CV and a brief note regarding your availability to Dr. Olivia Wolf (owolf2@luc.edu) and JaNae Contag (jcontag@luc.edu). We would be happy to answer any questions. Please also feel free to share this announcement with colleagues, advanced doctoral candidates, or recent Ph.D. graduates who may be interested.
