Assistant Professor of English in Multi-Ethnic American Literature

 

The Department of English at Elon University invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professorship in Multi-Ethnic American Literature, beginning mid-August 2023. Expertise in Latinx Literature and/or Native American Literature will be preferred. The Department seeks to expand the curriculum by supporting interdisciplinary inquiries into topics such as race, ethnicity, class, gender and sexuality, and disability. Successful candidates will show compelling evidence of immersion in and/or proximity to the lived experiences about which they teach and publish. Requirements: Ph.D. in English or related field by start date and a record of innovation and excellence in teaching.

 

Teaching will include six classes per year (totaling 24 semester hours), including introductory and advanced literature and interdisciplinary courses in the Elon Core Curriculum. Demonstrated commitment to teaching first-year writing is required.

 

Candidates who have experience working with a diverse range of people, and who can contribute to the climate of inclusivity, are encouraged to identify their experiences in their cover letter. Elon is a dynamic private, coeducational, comprehensive institution that is a national model for actively engaging faculty and students in teaching and learning in a liberal arts-based residential campus.
