San Diego State University 4.5
Adjunct instructor job in San Diego, CA
As part of San Diego State University's (SDSU) Strategic Plan and the goal of leveraging our university's unique identity, SDSU aims to hire an Associate/Full Professor to join a diverse cohort of colleagues from a broad range of disciplines and a variety of academic and research backgrounds addressing borders, broadly defined both geographically and conceptually. The successful candidate must clearly demonstrate how their research, scholarship, or creative activities are collaborative or interdisciplinary and engage with borders as understood in their disciplines. We welcome applications from scholars in any discipline whose work addresses any of a myriad of border issues as understood in their fields and not just limited to nation state borders. Successful applicants will teach interdisciplinary courses, conduct research, and generate publications in their own disciplinary journals as well as engage in public-facing scholarship, which may include other public venues including but not limited to theater, film or other artistic venues. Candidates will be given the opportunity to request their home department and will be expected to teach both lower level and upper level undergraduate courses, and graduate level courses where appropriate, as well as courses they develop within their area of expertise. We seek a scholar who has demonstrated experience with community engagement or is committed to developing community-based projects.
Understanding Public-Facing Scholarship
Public-facing scholarship takes many forms depending on the academic field. Academics share their work outside traditional settings through podcasts, popular books, K-12 curricula, media interviews, educational websites, art, film, and public writing. Professionals who connect academic and practical work also play a role. Other examples include op-eds, public lectures, exhibitions, performances, and social media. Ethical public scholarship focuses on working with community organizations, tribal nations, and other groups as partners, not just as research subjects.
Interested applicants are encouraged to submit their materials through PageUp. The deadline for applications is January 30, 2026.
