NYU: Visiting Assistant Professor of Liberal Studies: Arts and Cultures (USA)

Visiting Clinical Assistant Professor of Arts and Cultures, Liberal Studies, New York University, NY, USA. Deadline: 15 November 2025.

Liberal Studies at New York University invites applications for a one year Visiting Clinical Assistant Professor position to begin September 1, 2026, pending administrative and budgetary approval. The Liberal Studies Core is a dynamic liberal arts curriculum that provides a global and interdisciplinary foundation for nearly 100 NYU majors. The Global Liberal Studies Bachelor of Arts is an innovative global studies major grounded in the spatial, conceptual, and temporal understandings of a highly interconnected world, with a program of study that is distinguished by experiential learning, study away, and independent research focused in an interdisciplinary concentration. In both the LS Core and the GLS major, small, seminar-style classes and close faculty-student interaction provide students with the benefits of a liberal arts college within a large urban research university. We are especially interested in hiring qualified candidates who can contribute their research, teaching and service to the intellectual diversity and excellence of Liberal Studies and NYU.
