Georgetown College does not discriminate, either in the admission of students, the hiring and promotion of employees, or in the administration of any of its educational policies, programs, or activities on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, age or disability. We embrace diversity and inclusion, and warmly encourage women and individuals from under-represented groups to apply.
Georgetown College is a historically Baptist institution and committed to remaining a broadly Christian institution in the 21st century. The college does not require faculty to be part of any particular denomination or to commit to any particular creedal or faith statement, but just as the college is rooted in Christian love and service, we expect our faculty to actively live out those values as well. The College may use religion as a factor in making faculty employment decisions and in Board of Trustees appointments.
Screening will begin November 15, 2024 and will continue until the position is filled. Send letter of application, vita, unofficial transcripts, evidence of teaching effectiveness, statement of teaching philosophy, and three letters of recommendation. All materials should be submitted electronically to Dr. Jonathan Sands Wise, Provost/Dean of the College to provost@georgetowncollege.edu
