  • Finding Part-Time Teaching Opportunities
    Finding Part-Time Teaching Opportunities A Guide for Graduate Students and Postdocs OVERVIEW This resource provides UChicago graduate students and postdocs with guidance on finding part-time teaching opportunities, particularly in the Chicago area. UChicago graduate students, postdocs, and alumni are welcome to schedule one-on-one consultations with staff from UChicagoGRAD and the Chicago Center for Teaching to receive feedback on their job search strategies and job- related documents, including CVs and teaching statements. To schedule, log into GRAD Gargoyle (gradgargoyle.uchicago.edu) with your CNetID and select “Advising Appointments.” This guide focuses on three strategies for obtaining part-time teaching: (1) checking official job postings, (2) emailing potential employers, and (3) networking. 1. CHECK OFFICIAL JOB POSTINGS A. Search the websites of places where you would be interested in teaching. Many universities have pages displaying current openings or sites dedicated to handling job postings and applications. A list of colleges and universities in the Chicago area is provided on pages 7-8. B. Search larger portals where many colleges and universities publish job listings. HERC (Higher Ed Recruitment Consortium): https://www.hercjobs.org Higher Ed Jobs: https://www.higheredjobs.com/ Chronicle Vitae: https://chroniclevitae.com/job_search/new H-Net (Humanities and Social Sciences): https://www.h-net.org/jobs/home.php Diverse Issues in Higher Education, Diverse Jobs: http://diversejobs.net/ Professional Association Websites: Put those membership dues to good use and take advantage of the job postings and career services provided by many professional associations (e.g. AAA, AAR, SAA, AHA). 1 2. EMAIL POTENTIAL EMPLOYERS If you have a particular set of schools where you would like to work, but you haven’t located any specific job listings there, you can send a “cold-call” email introducing yourself, your academic background, and classes you could teach in the event that a position opens up.
