The International Studies Program offers six interdisciplinary undergraduate majors: Global Studies, African Studies, Asian Studies, Caribbean and Latin American Studies, Middle East Studies, and Russian and Eurasian Studies. The successful candidate will be expected to teach three classes per year, including “INTS 207: Global South” and deliver a public research lecture in the spring semester of the second year.

• Qualifications: All applicants must have earned a Ph.D. in the humanities and/or social sciences after 2021.
• Special Instructions to Applicants: Please submit a letter of application, a CV, a sample of scholarly writing, and contact information for at least two individuals who will write letters of reference. Your letter of application should address how your teaching will engage the diverse student body at Trinity College. Review of application materials will begin on February 18, 2026, and continue until the position is filled.
Questions about the position can be directed to Professor Seth Markle, director of International Studies, at [email protected]. Applicants are asked to list contact information for two reference providers, including email addresses. Once a completed dossier is submitted, automatic emails will be generated to each reference provider, directing each referee to a unique URL where the reference letter writer must go to upload a letter of recommendation. Applicants using Interfolio (or other dossier service) should provide the appropriate unique Interfolio email address for each reference letter writer. We recommend letting your recommenders know ahead of time so that they will be ready to upload their letters when they receive the automatic email.
• Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States. In particular, applicants who require the H-1B visa cannot be considered, and applicants who require sponsorship for visas other than the H-1B visa such as J visa will be required to pay all costs associated with visa applications.
