Candidates who have records of scholarship related to literary, creative, and/or professional publishing are particularly encouraged to apply. Candidates should also demonstrate an understanding of GenAI's implications for writing, editing, and publishing as well as mindfulness and agility when orienting to its use instructionally.

Application instructions: Initial screening of applications will begin November 21, but the position will remain open until filled. We request that applicants submit a cover letter and CV. After initial review, selected candidates will be contacted for an interview. At which point, candidates may also be asked for additional documents such as a teaching portfolio (which may include recent syllabi, assignments, and course evaluations) as well as a research and/or creative publishing plan.
