Harvard University - 18th c. Lit. - TT Asst. Prof.
English: The Harvard University Department of English invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the literature of the eighteenth century. While the emphasis is on early fiction and the novel, including precursors of eighteenth-century fiction and broad acquaintance with English fiction through the early nineteenth century, the application will be strengthened if the candidate can demonstrate knowledge and teaching ability in several genres of the long eighteenth century covering the Restoration, English Enlightenment, and transition to Romanticism. Both breadth and expertise are desired. The appointment is expected to be effective July 1, 2014, and at the rank of assistant professor. A doctorate or terminal degree is required by the time the appointment begins. The successful applicant will have a strong doctoral record and should show promise of excellence in scholarship, along with a strong commitment to teaching in a variety of areas. Those in serious consideration for the position will be expected to submit in late November or early December the entire dissertation or as much of it as is completed (or, alternatively, a book-length publication). The position requires teaching four courses during the regular academic year.

Submit cover letter, curriculum vitae, teaching statement, research statement, 1-2 page abstract of dissertation, the names and contact information of 3-5 recommenders, and article-length writing sample (25-30 pages) no later than 14 October, 2013.

Late applications will not be considered. Harvard is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer.
