Assistant Professor of English Literature
The English Department of the University of New Hampshire invites applications for an assistant professor with a specialty in medieval English literature and Digital Humanities beginning in August 2015. UNH actively creates an educational environment that fosters diversity, inclusion, and quality engagement for all.
The candidate should have his or her PhD in hand or a defense scheduled before July 2015. In addition to expertise in medieval English literature and Digital Humanities, experience in teaching composition, introduction to literary studies, and surveys of literature before 1800 is especially desirable (2/2 course load).
Candidates should demonstrate the ability to contribute to an increasingly diverse cultural, social and ethnic community by including issues of such diversity in their teaching of medieval texts. Although candidates are not required to have a research project that addresses these issues directly, they should have competency in talking with students about issues of gender, sexuality, class, religion, and race or ethnicity in medieval literature.
Candidates should apply online through the UNH jobsite at https://jobs.usnh.edu by 11:59 PM October 17, 2014.
