Hope's beautiful campus is located just steps from award-winning downtown Holland, Michigan, and fewer than seven miles from Lake Michigan.

Recognized as a national leader in undergraduate research and scholarship, Hope provides exceptional professional preparation and life-changing educational experiences that equip students for success after graduation. The college has consistently ranked among the nation's top liberal arts colleges and is featured in the book Colleges That Change Lives.

Hope College is financially sound, with more than 50 consecutive years of balanced budgets, an endowment of approximately $230 million and no deferred maintenance, and over $140 million invested in the construction of new facilities during the past 12 years. Since 2015, the college has completed three new buildings -- Kruizenga Art Museum (2015), the Jack H. Miller Center for Musical Arts (2015) and the Jim and Martie Bultman Student Center (2017). The next facility to be built will be a new home for the college's Campus Ministries programs, which is slated for completion in fall 2019.

In 2015, Hope College launched its 10-year strategic plan, Hope for the World: 2025, which consists of six goals, focused on: academics; Christian formation; global engagement; community; reputation and influence; and value. Developed by the campus community, the strategic plan supports the college's mission, "to educate students for lives of leadership and service in a global society through academic and co-curricular programs of recognized excellence in the liberal arts and in the context of the historic Christian faith."

Hope College is a community that aspires to be faithful, welcoming and transformational. Accordingly, the college is committed to being a place where all experience a sense of belonging.

In 2018-19, 18 percent of the student body identified as a race other than Caucasian. On Hope's campus, there is broad understanding that, in order to best prepare students for lives of leadership and service in a global society, the college must have diversity among its faculty and staff. Twenty-four percent of Hope's tenure-track faculty are from underrepresented groups, coming from both the U.S. and abroad.

Working in UMSL’s English Department and the College of Arts of Sciences

The MFA program at UMSL is small yet robust, graduating an average of 6-8 students a year. Our students come from diverse backgrounds, and many are working professionals in the St. Louis area. We are home to a nationally-distributed literary magazine, Natural Bridge, as well as the Natural Bridge Debut Writers Series. MFA faculty serve on and chair MFA thesis committees and oversee independent studies with both graduate and undergraduate students.

Directorship of the MFA program rotates among tenured faculty. The department also features an active MA program and a newly-revised BA in English, with courses at all levels in creative writing, literature, composition, rhetoric, and related fields including linguistics, film studies, gender studies, and disability studies. The department is housed in the College of Arts and Sciences, which supports collaboration in research, teaching, and service.

College faculty also regularly offer courses through the Pierre Laclede Honors College and the Center for International Studies.

Early career faculty typically teach two courses per semester. In the undergraduate major, these might include upper-level classes in fiction writing, seminars in contemporary fiction, or other courses in an area of specialization. At the graduate level, teaching would include graduate fiction workshops, courses in methods and techniques of fiction writing, and Literary Journal Editing, the course through which Natural Bridge is produced. The optimal candidate would contribute to the continued growth and development of both the BA and MFA programs.

Bennington College (USA:Vt) - Faculty Position in Literature
Bennington College seeks to add a creative writer to its undergraduate Literature faculty beginning in the fall of 2020 to teach literature coursework covering different historical periods, styles, cultures, and traditions, with the option of also regularly teaching writing workshops in rotation with colleagues. All members of Bennington’s Literature faculty have published book-length works of fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, literary journalism, or translation. While applications from writers in all genres are welcome, we are particularly interested in considering fiction writers, creative nonfiction writers, and dual-genre authors for the position. Applicants should have a strong record of publication, including at least one book published or under contract with a nationally recognized press.

Faculty members at Bennington are teacher-practitioners whose professional work is in ongoing dialogue with their teaching and advising. Faculty teach five courses per year, and fully engaged student advising is an expectation. Additionally, the successful candidate will demonstrate a commitment to developing curriculum that invites the participation of students with a broad range of interests. We seek candidates excited to branch out of their primary areas of expertise, who demonstrate both depth and breadth in their writing and teaching, and whose record of achievement will contribute to the diversity goals of the institution.

Bennington College is a small residential liberal arts college in southern Vermont, long distinguished for its progressive approach to higher education. The College was founded in 1932 on the principle of active engagement in learning, which is manifest in individualized plans of study developed by students together with faculty. We serve a diverse student population, and our faculty and staff also reflect diverse backgrounds and identities. Our aim is to educate students towards self-fulfillment and constructive social purposes, and we believe that equity, diversity, and inclusivity--in community and in curriculum--are vital to achieving those aims.

Candidates should apply online at https://bennington.recruiterbox.com/jobs/fk033fe by submitting: 1) a letter of application that describes teaching experience, professional work and includes a reflection on the candidate's potential to contribute to a diverse and inclusive environment through teaching, research, and/or service; 2) curriculum vitae; 3) a 25-page writing sample; 4) descriptions of at least three non-creative writing-focused courses in literature that you would be interested in offering; and 5) contact information for three references.

In recognition of the employment challenges sometimes faced by academic couples in small communities, the College will also consider applications to share equally a single full-time faculty position. Applicants must each submit an individual application and indicate in their cover letters that they are applying jointly.

Review of applications will begin on September 15 and will continue until the position is filled. This position requires the successful completion and acceptable results of a background check.

Deadline: rolling (with applications starting to be read on September 15th)

The School of English has played a historic role in supporting and stimulating new literary voices from around the world. In 1996, to maintain our rich and diverse traditions of literary creativity, we instituted a Creative Writing Fellowship for the purpose of teaching creative writing to undergraduates within our honours degree programme. This post is a new iteration of that fellowship.

You will join a team which includes Poet Laureate Simon Armitage as Professor of Poetry; Professor of Romantic Literature and poet John Whale; Zaffer Kunial as Douglas Caster Cultural Fellow (a position previously held by Helen Mort, Malika Booker and Vahni Capildeo), writer and academic Dr Kimberly Campanello (who is also the Programme Leader) and Leverhulme Fellows and poets Rachel Bower and Karl O’Hanlon. A new undergraduate BA (Hons) in English Literature with Creative Writing began in 2018-19 and a Masters in Creative Writing and Critical Life was launched in 2017. The School also offers practice-led PhDs in Creative Writing and performance-based theatre studies.

The Leeds University Poetry Centre (LUPC) is based in the School and regularly welcomes guest readings from established and emerging poets. The School is home to two internationally-respected journals which feature creative writing: Stand magazine (poems and short stories) and Moving Worlds (poems, short stories and critical articles) as well as Poetry & Audience and a new annual anthology of students’ writing called Tenter Hook.
