Responsibilities include teaching five undergraduate writing workshops/ courses per year at a highly selective liberal arts college with an emphasis on excellence in teaching, advising 1-3 senior theses, and helping to manage a visiting writers' reading series.

M.F.A. or the equivalent required. We are seeking someone with proven teaching ability and an active engagement in writing and publication on the national level. Reed College is a community that believes that cultural diversity and inclusive educational practices are essential to the excellence of our academic program.
