Full Job Description

The Department of English at Wesleyan University seeks a scholar-teacher of early modern literature for a tenure-track appointment beginning July 1, 2027. We are open to candidates with comparative approaches.

Wesleyan faculty have a strong commitment to both undergraduate teaching and scholarship. Candidates for this position should be actively engaged in scholarly research and writing and prepared to teach four literature courses per year (two per semester) to undergraduates, in person on Wesleyan’s campus. The successful candidate will offer broadly-conceived courses in the field, courses more narrowly focused on their areas of expertise, and the English Department’s gateway, “Ways of Reading.” Additional duties include advising and mentoring students as well as participating in faculty governance at the departmental and university level.

Minimum qualifications: Ph.D. in English or a related field in hand by the time of appointment to be hired as an Assistant Professor; a successful candidate may be hired as an Instructor if the candidate does not have a Ph.D. in hand at the time of appointment, but will complete the Ph.D. within one year of hire.

A complete application includes the following materials, with each numbered item combined into a single document: (1) a cover letter and curriculum vitae; (2) a writing sample (25 pp. maximum), (3) a teaching statement and evidence of teaching excellence. You will also be asked to provide the email addresses of three referees from whom we will obtain confidential letters of recommendation.

Applications submitted by Sep. 15, 2026 will receive full consideration. Please contact Jeanne McNeff at [email protected] or 860-685-2360 regarding questions about the application process.

With a strong and diverse student body, Wesleyan is a highly selective liberal arts college that values both scholarship and teaching very highly and offers a generous sabbatical program and competitive salaries and benefits. Wesleyan University is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applications from women and historically underrepresented minority groups. Inquiries regarding Title IX, Section 504, or any other non-discrimination policies should be directed to the Chief Diversity Officer.

Work Location: On Campus
