Our Programs | Apply to be Summer Program Faculty

Each year, Telluride Association hires a pair of faculty to teach each TASS and TASP seminar.

At least one member of the faculty team must be a tenured or tenure-track professor at the host University.  The other faculty may be an adjunct, ABD student, or faculty at another university.  Telluride Association accepts proposals only from faculty pairs.  The faculty proposal consists of CVs from both faculty applicants, along with a course description that includes five potential readings for the proposed course (books, articles etc.).  

In addition to a competitive summer salary, TASS and TASP offer the opportunity for faculty to teach courses to new audiences and in different formats.  Past faculty have reported some of the biggest rewards have been teaching with colleagues and reimagining courses for high school students.  Teaching a TASS or TASP seminar can also be an opportunity for faculty to test out new courses.  Students go through a rigorous selection process, and faculty have reported their overwhelming satisfaction with the level of interaction they are able to have with young, eager students.

To apply to teach either the the 2009 TASS or TASP, please send application materials to telluride@tellurideassociation.org.  The deadline for next year’s proposal is September 1, 2008.  To learn more, please contact us.
