The appointment will be at the rank of Assistant Professor, with an expected start date of 1 September 2023 (pending administrative and budgetary approval).

Applicants must have earned a PhD by the time of appointment. The successful candidate will have a strong record of excellence in teaching and research and a demonstrated commitment to equity and inclusion. While we seek a candidate with expertise in Native North American literatures, we also welcome global and/or comparative perspectives on Anglophone Indigenous literature, print culture, new media, and multiple modalities of “writing.” We especially encourage applications from scholars who work in collaboration with First Nations or Native American nations, and whose research engages with Indigenous communities and/or language revitalization.

Candidates should submit a letter of application, curriculum vitae, three letters of recommendation and a 20 to 25-page writing sample via Interfolio link: apply.interfolio.com/111315 - or visit the NYU English Department website for more information.

For fullest consideration, applications should be received by 3 October 2022.
