Birmingham-Southern College (AL) - TT Asst. Professor - Medieval Literature
Birmingham-Southern College invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in medieval literature and culture (or medievalism) at the rank of Assistant Professor in the Department of English. The position will begin August 2017.

BSC is committed to finding a teacher/scholar who, while proficient in Middle English literature, including Chaucer, will bring a new and diverse perspective to medieval studies. A successful candidate might contribute to the College in a number of ways: engaging students in medievalisms from the twelfth to the twenty-first century; developing courses on the Middle Eastern influences on medieval European culture; and/or participating in new programs such as Creative and Applied Computing, whether through digital scholarship, gaming, or technology-based pedagogies. Additionally, a successful candidate would be able to create upper-level courses that emphasize the development of literary traditions over time.

Commitment to undergraduate teaching and research in the liberal arts tradition is essential. Teaching load is 3-1-3, including a non-traditional January term project of the professor’s own creation. Ph.D. in Literature with a specialization in medieval studies is required. Eligible candidates must have received their Ph.D. by time of employment.

BSC is located just minutes from downtown Birmingham, the largest city in Alabama and a leading hub for banking and medical research in the Southeast. There are six institutions of higher education within a short commute. The community sponsors a symphony, ballet, opera, and several museums as well as annual art, music, and film festivals. There are numerous opportunities for outdoor activities within the city limits, and Birmingham is also within an easy day’s drive of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Great Smoky Mountains, and the Gulf of Mexico.

To apply, submit a letter of application, curriculum vita, a one-page statement of teaching philosophy, and three reference letters via Interfolio. Review will begin October 24, 2016, and continue until the position is filled. Questions should be sent to the chair of the search committee, Dr. Tynes Cowan, at tcowan@bsc.edu.

BSC is an equal opportunity employer and is especially interested in qualified candidates who can contribute through their teaching, research, and/or service, to the diversity and excellence of the academic community. BSC complies with the Alabama Child Protection Act and E-Verify.
