Global Studies Instructor

2 days ago

Worcester, Western Cape, South Africa Worcester Polytech Full time

As a member of the Department of Integrative and Global Studies at WPI, you will be part of a team dedicated to providing students with a unique learning experience. Our course in social methods involves students working in teams to prepare a research proposal to guide work for external sponsors in the following term.

Students will learn to function in teams, setting goals, completing background research, understanding appropriate research methods, thinking critically, and writing and presenting effectively. Experience in social research and teaching social research methods is highly desirable, although a Ph.D. in a relevant social science discipline is not required.

The Global Experience Office manages WPI's Global Perspective Program, through which most juniors complete interdisciplinary projects off campus each year. In this project, Interactive Qualifying Project student teams work with external sponsors on a problem addressing some aspect of science, technology, and human needs.

We are seeking candidates who can support our commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion and who have a passion for teaching and mentoring students.
