The Department of Romance Languages & Literatures and the Humanities Collegiate Division at the University of Chicago are accepting applications for a full-time, one-year renewable, benefits-eligible, position, at the Assistant Instructional Professor level, in French and Haitian Kreyol. The Assistant Instructional Professor will be assigned to the French Language Program in the Department of Romance Languages & Literatures.

Responsibilities will include teaching seven language courses per year, of which at least two will be in Kreyol, across three quarters. Other duties may include offering independent studies in French and/or Kreyol as directed, community outreach, advising registered student organizations in French and/or Kreyol, the promotion of the French and/or Kreyol language programs, acting as a study abroad office liaison and/or undergraduate adviser, and work with Course Share or similar platforms.

Ronald Cetoute is in the dissertation phase and will be conducting a case study research on entrepreneurs who participated in a program he launched called the BEL Initiative program. The program is an entrepreneurship education program that hosts Haiti-based entrepreneurs in the U.S. each year to give them exposure to U.S. business culture, introduce them to different business concepts, and connect them with resources so they can expand their enterprises back home.

However, since he is the principal investigator in this research, this will present some conflict. He plans to collect the data through semi-structured zoom interviews. He needs assistance finding someone who could assist with conducting the interview portion of the research to avoid biased data collection. He only plans to conduct 7 to 10 interviews.
