and the position is renewable upon a favorable review for up to three years.
As
a Jesuit, Catholic institution, Boston College requires all students to
complete a fifteen-course liberal arts Core Curriculum as the foundation of
their undergraduate education. Core Visiting Assistant Professors teach
signature courses in the Core. Developed for first-year students,
interdisciplinary Complex Problems and Enduring Questions courses are part

sections associated with a Complex Problems course, "Global Implications of
Climate Change," co-taught by faculty from Sociology and Earth and
Environmental Sciences. In the other semester, he/she will teach two
courses:
an Enduring Questions course (paired with a second course designed with
