Boise State University (ID) - Fiction/Generalist Lecturer (1 yr. renewable) - CANCELLED
Boise State University, powered by creativity and innovation, stands uniquely positioned in the Northwest as a metropolitan research university of distinction. Interested applicants are encouraged to apply for the Lecturer in fiction and first-year writing, beginning January 2016.

The successful candidate will teach approximately 50% fiction courses, and 50% other English department courses. This division of effort could vary, depending on department need and course demand. A full workload is defined as four courses (12 credits) each semester for the Department of English, as well as providing service to the department, university or community. Contracts are renewed yearly based on performance evaluations.

At a minimum you should have: ·MFA or PhD in creative writing with an emphasis in fiction; ·Relevant teaching experience or concentrated graduate coursework in composition studies, writing studies, rhetoric, creative nonfiction, and/or teaching writing.

Preferentially, you will have: ·Experience teaching fiction writing in a workshop setting at the college level; · Experience teaching academic writing in first-year writing classes; ·Evidence of a commitment to program, department, university, and/or community service; ·A book from a nationally recognized press or a number of publications in national journals.

Lecturer Role: According to Policies 4250 and 7000 in Boise State University's Policy Manual, and English Department practices, A.a lecturer's primary responsibility is teaching non-clinical courses in degree and/or certificate programs for an academic year. B.a lecturer is not eligible for tenure, may or may not have responsibilities for research or creative activity, and may serve on a wide range of academic or governance committees subject to policies of the department, the college, and the university.

Faculty who hold these positions often teach a variety of courses, depending on departmental need and the faculty member's areas of expertise. Lecturers are expected to teach effectively and to conduct some service. In addition, these faculty members are to provide a minimum of three office hours per week during the semesters for student consultation. They are expected to attend department meetings and to contribute to departmental activities related to instruction such as curriculum planning, professional development, assessment, and the like. They also have voting rights. Because these are teaching-intensive positions, lecturers are evaluated annually based on teaching effectiveness, professional development, and university or community service, but are not expected to engage in research or creative activity.

The Chair may adjust the workload for lecturers under special circumstances, consistent with University policies and procedures and with permission of the Dean of Arts and Sciences and the Provost. Such action will most commonly occur in the form of a reduction in teaching responsibilities to offset any ad-hoc types of assignments requiring an extraordinary commitment of time and effort. Such assignments may be compensated with a course reduction as deemed appropriate by the Chair, the Dean, and the Provost.

Application Procedures: Please provide the following documents: 1.letter of application describing your teaching experience, areas of expertise, and teaching philosophy-- please put the reference number for the position at the top of your letter, 2.curriculum vitae 3.three letters of recommendation, at least one of which should address your teaching abilities, 4.transcripts of graduate studies (unofficial accepted), 5.a 1- to 2-page description of a project or assignment that would fit the goals of a fiction writing course 6.a 1- to 2-page description of a project or assignment that would fit the goals of a first-year writing course 7.a set of recent evaluations from students 8.a 20-page sample of your fiction.

Applicants should submit their materials as separate PDF attachments by email to kimberlybrandt@boisestate.edu with the applicant's surname and the document type in the title of each document (e.g., smith_teachingportfolio.pdf).
