The Hun School of Princeton seeks a dynamic, creative Part-Time Upper School History and Global Studies Teacher to teach Economics beginning in August 2026. 

History and Global Studies expose students to a broad framework of historic, geographic, social, and cultural perspectives, encompassing Western and non-Western experiences. The department presents history as a means of exploring vital questions of both historic and contemporary relevance. Students learn both independently and cooperatively, developing skills in problem-solving and decision-making. The ideal candidate will be able to make history come alive for our students, focusing more intently on skill development and learner engagement than on conferring information within the context of a curriculum that privileges interdisciplinary connections and student agency.

Responsibilities:

• Teach the equivalent of two (2) or three (3) year-long History and Global Studies (Economics) classes each year;
• Continuous professional growth in the content area;
• Team teach in our annual NextTerm minimester, if desired.

Qualifications: 

• A bachelor’s degree; advanced degree preferred;
• Three years of full-time teaching experience is preferred, but other relevant experience will certainly be considered;
• Experience developing and teaching AP Economics classes preferred;
• A love for working with young people;
• A commitment to a diverse and inclusive community;
• A passion for teaching in an innovative, experiential, project-based, and student-centered environment;
• Ability to work collaboratively and effectively with students, parents, faculty, and staff;
• Personal qualities including resilience, approachability, and kindness;
• Excellent technology skills and experience integrating technology into the curriculum;
• A desire to contribute to school life outside of the classroom on a lively boarding school campus.

Annual Salary Range: $19,000 to $38,000  The salary will be determined based on the candidate’s experience and qualifications as well as number of classes taught.
