Minimum Qualifications: Candidates must have a Ph.D. in English or related field in hand by the time of appointment to be hired as an Assistant Professor; a successful candidate may be hired as an Instructor if the candidate does not have a Ph.D. in hand at the time of appointment, but will complete the Ph.D. in English or related field within one year of hire.

Special Instructions To Applicants: You will be asked to upload electronic versions of the items we require, which are (1) a letter of application, (2) a curriculum vitae, (3) writing sample (25-30 pages), (4) evidence of teaching excellence, including course syllabi and student evaluations. As part of the cover letter we invite you to describe your cultural competencies and experiences engaging a diverse student body.

You will also be asked to provide the email addresses of three referees from whom we may obtain confidential letters of recommendation (please double-check the accuracy of the email addresses of the referees you name to insure that you have the most up-to-date email addresses for each one).

After you have submitted all of the required documents, you will see a confirmation number. At that point, each of the three referees whose email address you have provided will receive an automatically generated email requesting that he or she submit a letter of reference for you.

Additional Information: Applications submitted by October 16, 2017 will receive full consideration.

Avast Ye Members of the Search Committee:

I write to tell ye of my application for the position of Assistant Professor of Literature of the Oceans at Williams College-Mystic. I received my Ph.D. in May 2017 from the University of the Bahamas, under the direction of Professor Edward Thatch. My research has appeared in Leviathan and other journals.

My dissertation, “Sea Chanteys and Little Dinghies: The Erotics of Anglophone Sea Poetry 1800-1900,” explores the ebb and flow of libidinal tropes in anglophone poetry during the period of Britain’s ascent as a naval power. Often scuttled on the rocks of scholarly unconcern, this body of poetry, I argue, provided the era’s central literary form for mediating and channeling the stresses of British naval empire. In the images of sea-spouts and mermaids, sucking whirlpools and snug harbors, one can discern the outlines of an erotic oceanic imagination than understands empire in affective and libidinal terms. From Coleridge’s ancient mariner to Tennyson’s kraken, this poetry works to collect an increasingly dispersed sense of British national identity and release it in a powerful surge of versified sea-spray.

I am currently at work on a second project, “Shiver Me Timbers: Oceanic Disability Studies from Ahab to Captain Hook.” Drawing on tales of nautical mishaps in a range of classic literary works, this project explores how the limitless and boundary-defying body of the ocean makes and re-makes the limited human body. How does the body of the ocean challenge ideas of bodily autonomy, of human agency and purpose? How might disabled sea-farers disrupt normative ideas of the Billy-Budd-like “Handsome Sailor”? High up in the riggings or walking the poop, disabled sailors expand our understanding of the human form even as the sea challenges our limited (and often nationalist) literary perspectives. I’ve also recently completed a new essay on oceanic literature’s contribution to aesthetic theory. In the apparently free play of aquatic life forms, might we detect an understanding of the aesthetic not as purposiveness but, dare I say, as porpoisiveness?

I have experience teaching a variety of nautical literature classes, including “Surf and Turf,” which explores the mutual implication of sea and land tropes in British literature; “Dead Men Tell No Tales,” a class on the persistence of sea tropes in the British elegy; and “Full Fathom Five,” on the sea and familial anxieties from Shakespeare to the modern day. As a teacher, I understand my role to be a plumbing of students’ intellectual depths. Amidst contemporary resistance to literary study, teachers of literature must tack fearlessly across the tricky headwinds of ignorance. I hope that my students will see in literature a sweeping beam of light that will guide them from the stormy waters of their modern adolescence into the safe port of confident adulthood. I would be eager to teach any of the courses listed above at Williams College, as well as courses on oceanic literature and the Anthropocene, “Salty Dogs” (a course on literal dogs in oceanic literature), and Herman Melville.

I will attend the MLA Convention in New York if ye would parley with me there.

Yours,

Dr. John Sparrow


 * ^^^Doc Sparrow, honey, with that letter you deserved THE JOB.

I write to support my exceptional student, Sir Sparrow:

Right Honourable Lee Park, Dean of the Faculty, Servant of the Queen, I assure Your Honour Sparrow's service has much appalled the enemy and has no doubt encouraged our researches in poesy and rhetoric. I think not half of the new scholastics men-of-war; but truly, Prof. Sparrow hath his mettle show'd both at sea and in arcane learning. He came aboard the ship in wonderful good time and brought with him as good knowledge as we could wish. In logic he is not wanting. He strikes a fine figure and could with application be made a tolerable dancing master. Of an evening his chaunts keep their feet in right measure, and sweetly do prick all ears. Your Honour's most ready to be commanded, Frank Drake, MA, LLD, AlchemD

NOTES:
 * Also posted at Modern British 2018 and British Open 2018
 * Holy cow, take a look at the mission statement: "The College values the merit of each unique individual, rather than succumbing to the dehumanizing, discriminatory trend of so-called “social justice” and “multicultural diversity,” which judges individuals not as individuals, but as members of a group and which pits one group against other competing groups in divisive power struggles."  Guys, you're supposed to be a little more chill with the politics.
 * Tip of the iceburg. These guys almost got through as a write-in on the federal tax bill to not have to pay taxes on their endowment. This school is owned by the DeVos family. Only one end of the political spectrum need apply. I hope if you get this job you're cool with never teaching a woman or POC.
 * The New York Times had a pretty fascinating feature on this school and the transformation of its mission under the current school president.

Minerva Schools at Keck Graduate Inst. (CA) - Faculty in Humanities, incl. Literature (Open Rank)
We are currently appointing faculty to teach undergraduate courses in the arts and humanities beginning in the 2018-2019 academic year. We welcome applications from people at all career stages. We are especially interested in applicants who take an interdisciplinary approach to their work. We will consider applicants with degrees in art history, music history, theater, film, or literature, particularly comparative or world literature.

The Minerva Schools at KGI (the Keck Graduate Institute) prepare students to become innovators and global leaders in a wide variety of disciplines. All Minerva classes are seminars, not lecture courses. Students live together in residence halls, traveling to 7 different cities over their four undergraduate years of study. We teach using the Minerva Active Learning Forum, a web-based platform that supports real-time, synchronous seminars (ranging from 15-19 students) with high levels of student-faculty interaction. The majority of our students are undergraduates pursuing four-year degrees.

Because all classes are taught on our technology platform, you have complete flexibility to teach at Minerva via computer from any geographic location where there are good internet connections. Students live and study in many global cities, so teaching days and hours often fall outside the range of a typical business day.

Ph.D. required. ABD applicants accepted if the degree will be completed by August 1, 2018. Please apply using this link: http://apply.interfolio.com/46482

In these courses, students examine the development of a wide variety of ideas and forms of expression that exert a major influence on modern America. Through lectures and class discussions, and through the writing of essays, students learn to interpret literary, historical, and philosophical texts and to conduct independent critical assessment of documents and ideas.

The sequence of courses, Humanities 1 through 5, meets the humanities and writing requirement of Revelle College. Instruction in university-level writing is part of all five courses, but students in Humanities 1 and 2 (six units each) receive intensive writing instruction.

For detailed description of the Revelle College humanities requirement, see Revelle College, General-Education Requirements, Humanities, in the UCSD General Catalog.

Revelle College, the first college at UC San Diego, was founded in the early 1960's when the Great Books programs piloted by the University of Chicago and Columbia University influenced humanities curricula throughout the nation. The original Revelle College faculty, led by the founder, Roger Revelle, believed that educated people should be acquainted with the literary, historical, philosophical, scientific, and social ideas and problems that have defined our culture.

As the first college at UCSD, Revelle College has a dedicated cadre of senior faculty loyal to the College's classical ideal of education. The College's core Humanities sequence has the highest percentage of senior faculty instructors of all the University's core courses. The Revelle faculty has included Nobel Prize winners such as Harold Urey, Francis Crick, and, recently, Roger Tsien, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry.
