The School of Writing, Literature, and Film at Oregon State
University invites applications for a full-time, 9-month,
tenure-track/tenured faculty position in Creative Writing (Fiction)
at any rank. We seek a writer whose professional work engages one
or more of the following literatures: Indigenous, African American,
Latinx/Chicanx, Asian American, and/or LGBTQ+.
Responsibilities include teaching an annual total of five courses
on a quarter system (fall, winter, and spring terms) to both
undergraduate and graduate students, including an MFA workshop
and/or a course in craft. We especially welcome those with a clear
commitment to inclusive pedagogy and fostering access for
marginalized, underrepresented students. As part of teaching, the
position includes mentoring of MFA students and advising thesis
projects, as well as innovative curriculum development. Publication
records will be reviewed commensurate with rank.
As part of the College of Liberal Arts, the School of Writing,
Literature, and Film is a community that includes and values the
voices of all people. As such, we recognize the social barriers
that have systematically marginalized and excluded people and
communities based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity,
socioeconomic background, age, disability, national origin and
religion. We are committed to the equity of opportunities, and
strive to promote and advance diverse communities. We value and
proactively seek genuine participation from these historically
under-represented and underserved groups, and recognize them as an
essential component of creating a welcoming and rich academic,
intellectual, and cultural environment for everyone.
Oregon State is a leading research university located in Corvallis,
Oregon—one of the smartest and environmentally responsible small
cities in the nation, and voted the Best College Town in the
Pac-12. Situated in the heart of Western Oregon’s Willamette
Valley, Corvallis is 90 miles south of Portland, an hour from the
Cascade mountain range, and an hour to the Pacific Coast. Founded
in 1868, Oregon State is the state’s Land Grant university and is
one of only two universities in the U.S. to have Sea Grant, Space
Grant and Sun Grant designations. Oregon State is also the only
university in Oregon to hold both the Carnegie Foundation’s top
designation for research institutions and its prestigious Community
Engagement classification.
