Tenure-Track Faculty Position in English

Wabash College invites applicants for a tenure-track faculty position in the English department, beginning July 1, 2020. Candidates should specialize in multimodal writing and multicultural literature of any time period. Candidates should have a Ph.D. by the time appointment begins. The successful candidate will be committed to excellent undergraduate teaching and curricular innovation in a wide range of writing and literature courses. We seek a willing collaborator with colleagues across disciplines and in our interdisciplinary minors in Black Studies, Gender Studies, and Multicultural American Studies and our major in Hispanic Studies. The ideal candidate is committed to full participation in the life and service of a small liberal arts college. Candidates with experience and willingness to teach diverse students are especially invited to apply: approximately one-third of our students are Pell grant recipients, and one-third of our students are first-generation college students.

While we expect to hire at the assistant professor level, we are open to applicants of other ranks. Teaching load is three courses per semester. Wabash College offers a competitive salary, generous support for faculty research, and ongoing mentorship for best practices in teaching.  We are located less than an hour driving distance from Indianapolis and under three hours from Chicago, Louisville, and Cincinnati.
