The Middlebury School of Hebrew (SoH) is now accepting applications for Hebrew instructors for summer 2027 courses which will be taught in person on the Middlebury College campus in Vermont.
We have a limited number of openings for new faculty members who have extensive experience teaching both Modern and Biblical Hebrew language and culture. Our programs take place in an immersive linguistic and cultural environment with rigorous daily classroom instruction. This is a unique opportunity to join a highly motivated community that is actively engaged in the teaching and learning of Hebrew, both inside and outside of class, 24/7. In addition to the salary, lodging and a complete meal plan will be provided.
Please note that all 7 and 3-week program instructors are required to arrive on campus by 4:00 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday, June 22nd, 2027 and to teach for the entire duration of their program.
Compensation will be determined on an individual basis as discussed with the Language School director.
