About The Position

The Translation Research and Instruction Program (TRIP) seeks to hire an Assistant Professor of Translation Studies with a primary focus on non-literary translation, starting fall 2025. Specialization is open, but preferred areas of research and teaching interests include community translation/interpreting, AI and translation, and/or audiovisual translation. Proficiency in any language pair(s) will be of interest, although applicants with expertise in Middle-Eastern or East-Asian languages will receive favorable consideration. We are seeking a scholar with a strong track record of published research (or promising potential to build such a record) in translation and/or translation studies. Teaching experience, and the ability to teach both research-oriented seminars and courses involving hands-on translation and/or interpreting will be essential. The TRIP program has a robust cohort of doctoral students, and a distinguished legacy as the first doctoral granting translation program in the country. It also offers an undergraduate minor, graduate certificates and masters degrees. The successful candidate will have split teaching and service responsibilities in TRIP and another department to be determined based on departmental needs and the candidate's areas of disciplinary expertise. They will be responsible for teaching four courses per year including graduate seminars and undergraduate courses in Translation Studies and their additional department, as well as supervising graduate students in Translation Studies on the MA and PhD levels. Applicants are encouraged to address in their applications which department(s) on campus they consider to be the most appropriate academic department to be berthed in. TRIP is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment through research, teaching, and service and seeks a candidate who will contribute to that mission.
