The English Department invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Nonfiction to join the MFA faculty, appointment to begin in the fall 2008 semester. We seek a colleague with an active publication record in nonfiction, to offer graduate & undergraduate courses in nonfiction literature, & workshops in nonfiction writing at the undergraduate & graduate level. We hope for a colleague whose publications might focus on any approach to nonfiction (lyric essay, science writing, nature writing, travel writing, memoir, etc.), but who in any case is actively inquiring into the nature of nonfiction, & whose work as writer & teacher will complement the interdisciplinary interests of current
faculty & students. We seek a colleague with a terminal degree (MFA or PhD) or equivalent experience, in creative writing or in a relevant field, with at least one book from a reputable publisher or equivalent record of prominent national publication. Our new
colleague will maintain an active publication record, teach a range of coursework in creative writing & literature, & work closely with our MFA students, including serving on & chairing thesis committees. Please send letter of application, c.v., writing sample, three letters of reference, & evidence of successful teaching to: H. L.
