Assistant Professor of Writing and Digital Humanities

The American University of Paris invites applications for a full-time position with a focus on Writing and digital humanities in the Department of Comparative Literature and English, at the rank of Assistant Professor, beginning August 1, 2025. The responsibilities will include teaching in the English Writing program as that program adjusts to the rise of artificial intelligence, and contributing to the ongoing development of courses that interrogate the relationship between humans and technology, be that through performance, film or game scripts, fiction writing, digital humanities, disability studies, or critical theory. Participation in either AUP’s Writing Lab or its MFA program would be expected.

The Position: Candidates should have an established record of publication, and good standing in their field. We require a proven record of committed and successful teaching at the undergraduate level, and evidence of a capacity for academic administration.

The candidate will share responsibility with colleagues for developing expository and creative writing at AUP. As part of the Department of Comparative Literature within a small multi-cultural US-style liberal arts college in Paris, they should be open to collaboration and conversation within the department and with the Center for Writers & Translators, the university, and the city. Desirable areas for exchange might include, for example, linguistics, performance studies, digital humanities, disability studies, public humanities, activism, and community projects.
