We seek a writer whose professional work engages one or more of the following literatures: Indigenous, African American, Latinx/Chicanx, Asian American, and/or LGBTQ+. 

Responsibilities include teaching an annual total of five courses on a quarter system (fall, winter, and spring terms) to both undergraduate and graduate students, including an MFA workshop and/or a course in craft. We especially welcome those with a clear commitment to inclusive pedagogy and fostering access for marginalized, underrepresented students. As part of teaching, the position includes mentoring of MFA students and advising thesis projects, as well as innovative curriculum development. Publication records will be reviewed commensurate with rank.  

As part of the College of Liberal Arts, the School of Writing, Literature, and Film is a community that includes and values the voices of all people. As such, we recognize the social barriers that have systematically marginalized and excluded people and communities based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity, socioeconomic background, age, disability, national origin and religion. We are committed to the equity of opportunities, and strive to promote and advance diverse communities. We value and proactively seek genuine participation from these historically under-represented and underserved groups, and recognize them as an essential component of creating a welcoming and rich academic, intellectual, and cultural environment for everyone.
