The position includes a 24-credit annual teaching load (9-13 credits per semester + 1-3 per Interterm). Half to 2/3rds of the position load (2-3 classes per semester) will support the Core Integration Program (most particularly, through writing-intensive general education courses and/or campus writing support). The remaining 1-2 courses per semester will be writing, literature, theory, or textual studies courses (depending on the candidate’s experience and area of specialization) in support of the English, Theatre, or Communication programs (or other courses designed to support upper-level work in the humanities). The teaching load will include regular participation in Bethany’s three-week January Interterm. This tenure-track position also carries an advising load, participation in program assessment, and the expectation of campus service.
QUALIFICATIONS: A terminal degree in a writing, literature, or related field. The candidate must have a solid generalist background and be able and willing to teach a wide variety of courses, ranging from introductory and upper-level studies in writing to courses in the applicant’s field (preference will be given to candidates with backgrounds in Composition/Rhetoric, gender studies, cultural/postcolonial studies, video games/comics, or film studies). Strong writing pedagogy experience is required; the writing instruction load will require participation in the college’s interdisciplinary general education program, most of which is taught collaboratively. Demonstrated excellence in teaching and the ability to work with colleagues across the disciplines.
Review of applications begins immediately and will continue until position is filled. Initial application must include a letter of application, current vita, and statement of teaching philosophy. Copies of transcripts and letters from three professional references are also required.
