The Greenberg-Starr Department of Chinese invites applicants for a tenure-track position in modern Chinese language, literature, and culture beginning fall 2027. Candidates may be specialists in any genre of modern Chinese literature or other form of Chinese cultural production, including poetry, prose, and drama, as well as topical courses not confined to a single historical period, with priority given to candidates whose first area of expertise is the literature and culture of the People's Republic of China, including that of the 21st century. Candidates with experience and demonstrated success teaching Chinese language, literature, and culture to undergraduate students are especially encouraged to apply.


Applicants must have the Ph.D. in hand or expected by September 2027. Appointment is at the rank of Assistant Professor. Candidates must be committed to high quality undergraduate education, including language education and the mentoring of a diverse student population, and they also must be willing to dedicate themselves to participation in a department with a tradition of teamwork and team teaching. The successful candidate must have native or near-native proficiency in Modern Standard Chinese ("Mandarin") and English and be eager to teach both Chinese language courses and courses in English on Chinese literature and culture. The typical teaching load will be 2 fall semester courses and 2 spring semester courses plus 1 Winter Term course in every other year, with Winter Term off in the alternate year.


As part of a full teaching load, the candidate will also regularly contribute to Middlebury's First Year Seminar Program and Winter Term course offerings. All faculty at Middlebury are also expected to contribute to service to the College including, but not limited to, committee membership and serving as Director or Chair of a Program or Department when asked.


Middlebury College is a top tier liberal arts college with a demonstrated commitment to excellence in faculty teaching, research, and service. It is also an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to fostering a truly open and supportive learning, teaching, and working environment.

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, age or protected veteran status.


This is a full time, benefits eligible, salaried position with a hiring range of $91,462-$103,138 per year.


The application deadline is November 1, 2026, but review of completed applications will begin immediately, with priority given to applications received by October 1, 2026.
