Job description

Description
Bard High School Early College Brooklyn, a partnership between Bard College and the New York City Department of Education, invites applications for a faculty member in Arabic Language and Literature to join our faculty for the campus' 2026-2027 academic year.
The Bard Early Colleges (BEC) are founded on the belief that, for many young people, college can and should start at an earlier age. Acting on this belief, Bard Early College enables students to begin serious college study in place of the traditional 11th and 12th grades, at no cost to students or families. The Bard Early Colleges offer a unique home for young people's intellectual ambition: as both tuition-free, branch campuses of Bard College and public high schools, they award a high school diploma and a Bard College Associate in Arts degree (and 60 transferable credits) by the end of the 12th grade. Students are taught by Bard College faculty in undergraduate seminar classes, all deeply rooted in the liberal arts and sciences, in Bard College's commitment to excellence in teaching, and in Bard's mission as a private college in the public interest.
Now entering its third decade, the Bard Early College network enrolls over 3,300 young people in campuses in Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Hudson, New York; Newark, New Jersey; New Orleans, Louisiana; Cleveland, Ohio; Baltimore, Maryland; and Washington, D.C.

The position may be funded by either Bard College or the NYC Department of Education.
We are pleased to offer our full-time employees an excellent benefit package.
