Lecturer of History Nevada State University Closes 6/30/25 Job Description The School of Liberal Arts, Sciences, & Business at Nevada State University invites applications for a 9-month Lecturer of History to begin in August 2025. The candidate should have expertise in an area of departmental need such as Asian, European, and/or African history and/or the history of underrepresented groups in the United States, and should be able to teach general education courses in U.S. history. About the History Program at Nevada State: The history major at Nevada State University is in the History, Law, and Society Department and offers two tracks: a traditional history degree and a history degree with concentration in pre-law. The program also serves a number of students who are seeking history secondary education degrees, as well as many students across the state seeking online options for their education. The program encourages hands-on learning of historical methods and emphasizes a capstone experience in areas such as oral history and a senior seminar where students conduct their own primary source research. In addition, the history program serves the general Nevada State student population through its lower-level general education-oriented courses. The program was recently approved to start a chapter of the Phi Alpha Theta national history honor society. Students in the program come from a wide range of cultural and ethnic backgrounds and include both traditional college-age students and students returning to school. Nevada State University is a U.S. Department of Education designated Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI), Minority-Serving Institution (MSI), and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution (AANAPISI). This position will join the multidisciplinary History, Law, and Society department to help shape the Core Humanities and History programs at this young and dynamic institution. As a teaching university working with an underserved population, we place a high emphasis on translating our academic preparation into exemplary classroom experiences through our dedication to quality instruction and mentoring. This position will work in technology-rich facilities (which include Symposium and lecture recording technology) and are encouraged to explore creative ideas and techniques to improve student learning.
