Located on Chicago’s vibrantly multicultural North Side, LUC is committed to creating an inclusive, responsive community of faculty, students, and staff. As an urban-based Department of English dedicated to mentoring a diverse student body, many of whom come from underrepresented and underserved populations, we especially encourage applications from candidates from underrepresented groups. We also encourage applications from scholars committed to interdisciplinarity (i.e., working with colleagues across different subfields and disciplines) and the furtherance of the University’s efforts to foster diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Full-time faculty in the Writing Program teach four courses per semester. Course assignments are based on the needs of the Department of English and the Writing Program but typically involve first year writing, advanced writing, and introductory literature courses. Qualifications

We require demonstrated excellence in teaching writing at the college level, and we value familiarity with the needs of writers whose first language is not English. Candidates should demonstrate responsiveness toward and understanding of diverse student backgrounds, especially with regard to socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, culture, ability/disability, sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity. Candidates must be willing to support the mission of LUC and the goals of a Jesuit education.

Preferred Qualifications: Three years’ experience teaching first year writing to a diverse, multilingual student body, with experience teaching African American or Latinx literature. Other desirable areas of expertise include anti-racist pedagogy, social justice rhetoric/writing, public writing, multimodal writing, and experiential writing.
