Application Due: 10/15/2012

The Heidelberg University Department of English invites applications for a position as Assistant Professor of English beginning Fall Semester 2013. This tenure-track position requires a specialization in British and Commonwealth literature. All full-time faculty members in the Department of English teach first-year writing, so training and experience in composition is essential. Courses taught include the two-part British literature survey, Shakespeare, Literature by Women, Literature of the Modern World, Introduction to Literary Theory, Senior Seminar in Literature, and other courses as needed. Interest in drama is desirable, as are ideas for special-topics classes in subjects not already covered by our course offerings.

Successful candidates must demonstrate a strong commitment to student learning in addition to engagement in scholarly and professional development activities. The Department of English has a tradition of strong campus engagement, with faculty members contributing to university governance, serving as advisors to student organizations, and attending on-campus programming. Working in our small-school environment requires the ability to work collegially with other faculty in and outside the department, along with a good sense of how to form effective relationships with students. All full-time faculty members participate in an advising and mentoring program for first-year students. 

An earned Ph.D. in English is preferred. ABD nearing completion will be considered. Salary and fringe benefits package are competitive and commensurate with experience and qualifications.

Heidelberg University is located in northwest Ohio with an enrollment of over 1400 students in undergraduate, graduate and off-campus programs. See www.heidelberg.edu for additional information. From its founding in 1850, Heidelberg University has believed in the dignity of the individual and is an affirmative action, equal opportunity institution. Heidelberg does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin, religion, age, political affiliation, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation or disability in the administration of its admission policies, educational policies and programs, financial aid programs, employment practices and athletic and other school-administered programs and activities.

Review of applications will begin immediately. For full consideration, applications should be received by October 15.
