Job Description:
The Ohio University Department of English in the College of Arts & Sciences invites applications for one full-time Assistant or Associate Professor of fiction writing (tenure-track) as part of Ohio University's Innovative Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA) faculty hiring initiative. The appointment is set to begin August 16, 2024.
The position is for a student-centered, innovative faculty member with a terminal degree (MFA or Ph.D.) in Creative Writing, English, or a closely associated field and at least one book of fiction published by or under contract with a nationally recognized press. Candidates should also have some secondary expertise in one or more of the following areas: screenwriting, playwriting, storytelling for new media, or digital writing. Preferred candidates will have substantial publication and/or production in their secondary expertise.
Position. The English Department serves as the tenure home for this position. However, the position also offers the opportunity for interdisciplinary innovation through connections with undergraduate and graduate programs in Ohio University's College of Fine Arts or Scripps College of Communication. This may include teaching, coteaching, curricular development, and/or graduate student mentorship across colleges.
Faculty will be expected to teach primarily in person on Ohio University's main campus in Athens, OH. Tenure-track faculty in the Department of English typically have an annual teaching load per year of 5 courses (15 credit hours), where substantial graduate supervision counts as one course. Salary for the appointment will be competitive based on the candidate's credentials.
IDEA Faculty. Through the IDEA faculty hiring initiative, Ohio University seeks to advance Ohio University's commitment to innovative teaching and impactful research in the areas of belonging, race, inclusion, diversity, gender, accessibility, and/or equity. IDEA faculty will build on areas of strength, support Ohio University's R1 status, and reflect the teacher-scholar model through which research impacts graduate and undergraduate education. IDEA faculty will participate in a learning community to support each other's work as well as the work of other faculty members. The IDEA faculty hiring initiative is part of Ohio University's broader commitment to supporting Ohio University faculty throughout all the phases of their careers.
