Binghamton University Hiring for Assistant Professor of Fiction at Binghamton, New York Full Time
Advertisements
Binghamton University’s Department of English seeks to hire a tenure-line Assistant Professor of Fiction starting Sep. 1, 2023. Competitive candidates will have significant publications, including at least one published book of fiction by a nationally recognized press, successful teaching experience, and an MFA or PhD.
The new hire will be part of a vibrant creative writing program within the English Department and will be an active member of our department and university community. The successful candidate will normally teach one graduate workshop and three upper-level undergraduate CW courses per year as part of a 2/2 teaching schedule, and will mentor undergraduate and graduate students, including working with graduate students on field exams, theses, and dissertations. We are especially interested in candidates with expertise in the literary traditions of historically marginalized or underrepresented peoples, and who are committed to working with students of diverse backgrounds.
The candidate should have significant publications, including at least one published book of fiction by a nationally recognized press. The position will entail teaching primarily fiction workshops at the undergraduate and graduate level, though the ability to also teach the study and craft of fiction is preferred. While not required, publications and experience teaching in other genres will be considered as part of the application. A terminal degree – an MFA or PhD – is required.
