About the role
Furman University invites applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or Professor of African Francophone Studies in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures. Candidates will teach across all levels of French, develop courses in their field, supervise the French Language House, and coordinate study abroad.
We seek candidates with expertise in Francophone Africa, a Ph.D. by Aug 1, 2027, and a commitment to undergraduate teaching excellence.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
