The Department of English seeks to appoint a tenure-track professor
in global literatures and media in English from 1945 to the
present. We welcome applications from innovative scholars working
across any geographical region, methodological framework, or
cultural context within the post-WWII era. Our primary goal is to
identify an exceptional researcher and teacher whose work pushes
the intellectual boundaries of global literary and media studies
and traces how English moves across national borders. Open to
scholars working on diverse literary genres and media landscapes
including but not limited to book history, print culture, and
transmedia storytelling (i.e. cinema and television, video games,
long-form narrative podcasts, radio, and new forms of visual and
auditory storytelling).
The appointment is expected to begin on July 1, 2027. The
tenure-track professor will be responsible for teaching at the
undergraduate and graduate levels, contributing to the intellectual
life of the Faculty and University by pursuing a full program of
scholarly research and course development, advising undergraduate
and graduate students, overseeing independent research projects,
and engaging in an appropriate amount of service.
