English – Assistant Professor, Creative
Writing—Fiction
The Department of English at Hope College invites applications for
a tenure-track assistant professor in Creative Writing—Fiction to
begin Academic Year ‘22 - ‘23.
Successful candidates will have a strong grounding in contemporary
fiction and narrative technique. The typical teaching load is three
four-credit courses per semester. This could include intermediate
and advanced fiction, introductory multi-genre creative writing,
and first-year writing. Department members also teach other courses
in our General Education Program. Preferences will be given to
creative writers whose creative, research, and teaching interests
supplement and expand our departmental program, especially with
secondary interests in professional writing, non-fiction creative
writing, and perhaps graphic narrative. Additional duties will
include academic advising and supporting students in a thriving
program, maintaining an active publication profile, recruitment of
potential incoming students, and participation in faculty
governance within and outside the department.
Qualifications:
The position requires an MFA or PhD in creative writing,
evidence of outstanding college-level teaching, and a strong
publication record.
Hope College is committed to creating a diverse, ecumenical
Christian academic community that invites all its members into a
holistic and robust engagement with the historic Christian faith.
The college’s board, faculty, administration, and staff are
committed to the Christian faith as expressed in the ecumenical
creeds of the ancient church. Individuals interested in this
position must demonstrate a commitment to the character and goals
of a liberal arts college with a Christian perspective, including a
mature understanding of and commitment to the historic Christian
faith.
