Instructor Application

The deadline to apply to teach at SASLI Summer 2025 was January 13, 2025. Summer 2025 SASLI Instructor Applications are now closed. 

The majority of SASLI courses will be offered in a synchronous, remote format for summer 2025. Instructors for remote courses are not expected to live in Madison and are expected to have sufficient internet access and technology to effectively teach without interruption and to meet all requirements of instructional staff at SASLI, including attendance at all meetings during pre-service orientation week, attendance at all mandatory pedagogy training meetings, holding of daily office hours, etc. Meetings and classes will be held during the business day based on the US Central time zone. 

*One Elementary Hindi course may be offered in-person in Madison, WI. Instructors selected for this course would be expected to relocate to Madison, WI, for the summer program and teach in-person. Applicants interested in teaching in-person for Elementary Hindi should note this in submitted cover letter.

Please contact us if you have questions!

Please note the following before applying:

• Hiring is contingent upon sufficient enrollment. Class confirmations and cancellations are determined throughout spring once the March 15 student application deadline has passed and as students register. If you have not heard from us, your application may be on hold until student enrollment numbers stabilize and we can make more informed hiring decisions.
• SASLI will send contingency offers to inform applicants that they have been officially selected as the instructor for a particular course pending its confirmation.
• Please only submit applications for languages listed on the PVL (Position Vacancy Listing).
• You must submit all of the required application materials to be considered:
  1. Cover letter addressing teaching philosophy, language(s) and level(s) applying to teach, and number of semesters taught in higher education language courses or equivalent experience;
  2. Resume/CV;
  3. Sample syllabus of the preferred language and level applying to teach (required for Lecturer applicants only);
  4. A list of 3 professional references (name, title/affiliation, email, phone number, and relationship to you);
  5. Student evaluations are strongly encouraged. The SASLI hiring committee will review student and performance evaluations from instructors who have previously taught at SASLI.
• Instructor position dates are one week longer than the dates of SASLI classes, as instructors are expected to participate in pre-program pedagogy training.
