The Department of English at Thomas More University is seeking applicants for a full time, renewable faculty position beginning August 2022. The successful candidate will primarily teach courses in first-year writing, general education courses in literature as well as the occasional workshop course in creative writing, particularly in teaching poetry, fiction or writing for digital media. Teaching responsibilities include four courses per semester with a minimum of two courses each semester in first-year writing. We are particularly interested in candidates who will energetically serve our small but vital department by demonstrating a strong commitment to on-ground teaching and will also provide student advising and mentorship; the ideal candidate will be committed to the growth and development of our department as well as to the success of our students.
An Ph.D. in English or Creative Writing is required. Candidates should submit a cover letter, a current curriculum vita (which should include at least three professional references), and a brief statement of teaching interest. Application review will begin in March and continue until an appointment is made. Submit documents to hr@thomasmore.edu
