Position Summary

The English Department in the College of Humanities and Fine Arts is collecting application materials for a pool of lecturers. Availability of positions in composition, literature, linguistics and creative writing will be determined by need during the 2025-26 academic year. We are primarily looking for instructors to teach in person. Appointments from the lecturer pool are temporary and often made just prior to the start of the academic term.

Minimum Qualifications

The minimum education requirement for a lecturer appointment in linguistics is a PhD. For literature, composition, and creative writing, an MA in English or a closely related field is the minimum education requirement.

Responsibilities

Lecturers will teach one or more sections of courses for which the Department Chair deems them qualified. Teaching assignments are based upon qualifications of the individual and the needs of the department.

How to Apply

Applicants must provide a current cover letter (including how you have addressed, or plan to address teaching to diverse student groups), a CV, a list of courses you believe you are qualified to teach and for which you wish to be considered, a copy of unofficial transcripts for your highest earned degree, and contact information of three professional references. Additional information may be requested at a later time.

All applicants must apply online; applications submitted via email or in‑person to the department will not be considered.

The Department

The Department of English is a large and complex unit with over 25 tenured, tenure‑track, part‑time faculty and teaching associates, and over 250 enrolled students pursuing degrees and certificates at the graduate and undergraduate levels. We offer BAs in English Studies, English Literature, and English Education; minored options in Creative Writing, English, Linguistics, and Secondary Language Arts; certificates in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), Teaching College‑Level Writing, and Literary Editing and Publishing;
