The Yaschik/Arnold Jewish Studies Program at the College of Charleston invites applications for a full-time position at the rank of Instructor of Hebrew beginning August 2026. We are seeking a dynamic and dedicated instructor with demonstrated excellence in teaching Modern Hebrew as a world language. The ideal candidate will also be interested and credentialed to teach interdisciplinary courses that expand our current offerings in the liberal arts.

The College of Charleston has a two-year language requirement for all students, which can be satisfied by Hebrew coursework. Hebrew is also a core of the major and minor in Jewish Studies, as well as a key language in Middle Eastern and Islamic World Studies. During the sixth year, the candidate undergoes review for promotion to the rank of Senior Instructor. The position is benefits-eligible; the salary is competitive.

Candidates must have a native or near-native command of Hebrew and a strong command of English.
