English as a Second Language Assistant Professor

Posting Number: F00793

Location: Diablo Valley College

Salary: $65,088 - $99,876 per year

Description of Position:

Diablo Valley College inspires, educates, and empowers a diverse community of students to transform their lives and their communities. To help further this work, DVC seeks a tenure-track English as a Second Language instructor to start in August 2022. We are looking for a colleague who will demonstrate discipline expertise and show sensitivity to and understanding of the diverse academic, socioeconomic, cultural, ethnic backgrounds and abilities of community college students. We are looking for instructors who share a strong commitment to social and racial justice and who use or are inspired to use anti-racist pedagogies that close equity gaps by recognizing, understanding, and respecting the perspectives of all students. We strongly encourage those with historically marginalized and/or underrepresented identities to apply, including people of color, non-binary and transgender individuals, women, and Indigenous people. We're looking for an engaged, equity-minded, and student-focused colleague to join our diverse English and ESL faculty. We are proud to serve students from a broad range of backgrounds, including immigrant, refugee, international, gen 1.5 students, students transferring from our adult schools, and others from under-represented and/or under-served populations. We recognize that students come to us with different goals and varying levels of ability, and we strive to create an ESL program that is responsive to their changing needs. Our expanding program offers traditional academic ESL courses in integrated reading and writing, grammar and oral communication skills at all levels, as well as non-credit and vocational ESL courses. These courses take place across multiple modalities—on-campus, online, and hybrid. In all areas of the ESL program, equity remains the core of our work and informs our pedagogy, extra-curricular support for students, and professional development for faculty. The successful candidate will also demonstrate sensitivity to and understanding of the diverse academic, socioeconomic, cultural, ethnic backgrounds, and abilities of community college students.
