Job Description

The Department of International Languages & Cultures at St. Mary’s College of Maryland is accepting applications for the three-year position of Lecturer of Chinese (Mandarin) beginning August 1, 2025.  Lecturer teaches the equivalent of seven courses a year (three four-credit courses a semester plus two one-credit conversation courses), coordinates the Chinese program, assists the Asian Studies program and has nominal research expectations.  The lecturer has the opportunity to shape and grow the Chinese program. Applicants with expertise in foreign language pedagogy, second language education, Chinese language/linguistics, cultural studies, literature, or other related fields are encouraged to apply. Lecturers report directly to the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Faculty, and may be assigned to the supervision of a department chair. The Lecturer position is a termed contract of three years.  Contingent upon successful evaluation and ongoing need as determined by the VPAA, the contract is renewable. Lecturers receive full health benefits and are eligible for promotion and merit-based raises. Salary range is $66,000-$69,000, depending on qualifications and experience.

Qualifications: Applicants must have a minimum of a Master’s degree in Chinese or related field, Ph.D. preferred, and be committed to excellence in undergraduate teaching.  Teaching responsibilities include Chinese language, literature and culture at all levels and may include courses in Asian Studies.   Teaching experience in North America is required.  An interest in attracting and retaining students from underrepresented groups is desirable.

Non-sectarian since its founding, St. Mary’s College of Maryland, a public Carnegie Baccalaureate, Arts and Sciences institution located in St. Mary's City, 70 miles southeast of Washington, D.C., has been designated as Maryland's public honors college.  With selective admissions policies, academically talented students, and a rigorous curriculum, we offer a small college experience similar to that found at exceptional private colleges. St. Mary’s faculty benefit from a comprehensive program of support for travel and curriculum development.  The quality of life is enhanced by the recreational opportunities of the Chesapeake region and by our proximity to Washington, D.C. and Baltimore.

St. Mary’s College (www.smcm.edu) embodies diversity and inclusion in its mission. We create an environment that recognizes the value of individual and group differences and we encourage inquiries from applicants who will contribute to our cultural and ethnic diversity. Application materials should include a cover letter (within the cover letter, applicants are requested to speak to ways in which their teaching will contribute to a culture of inclusion and campus diversity), curriculum vitae (include e-mail address), statement of teaching philosophy, and evidence of teaching effectiveness (if available). In support of inclusive hiring practices, for all SMCM faculty searches, the College will also request three professional references (rather than letters of recommendation) at the time of application. Of these three references, at least one referee should speak to the candidate's disciplinary expertise and at least one should have seen the candidate deliver or design classroom instruction. References will be contacted only for candidates who advance to finalist interviews. Applications are being accepted online at: .

Review of applications will begin Dec. 16, 2024  and continue until the position is filled.  Employment will be contingent upon successful completion of a criminal background check.  St. Mary’s College of Maryland is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer.
