Languages and Literature - Adjunct Instructor

Job Description

Posted Wednesday, August 21, 2024 at 4:00 AM

As the second-largest independent Catholic university in New England, and one of the fastest-growing private doctoral institutions in the U.S., Sacred Heart University is a national leader in shaping higher education for the 21st century. SHU offers nearly 90 undergraduate, graduate, doctoral and certificate programs on its Fairfield, Conn., campus. Sacred Heart also has a campus in Dingle, Ireland, and offers online programs. More than 10,000 students attend the University’s nine colleges and schools: Arts & Sciences; Communication, Media & the Arts; Social Work; Computer Science & Engineering; Health Professions; the Isabelle Farrington College of Education & Human Development; the Jack Welch College of Business & Technology; the Dr. Susan L. Davis, R.N., & Richard J. Henley College of Nursing; and St. Vincent’s College. Sacred Heart stands out from other Catholic institutions as it was established and led by laity. The contemporary Catholic university is rooted in the rich Catholic intellectual tradition and the liberal arts, and at the same time cultivates students to be forward thinkers who enact change—in their own lives, professions and in their communities.

The College of Arts & Sciences Languages and Literature Department has initiated a search for new adjunct faculty for the core program courses in English and First Year Writing. We are seeking faculty to teach in Experiencing Literature (the foundational core program course in literature) and/or the First Year Writing Seminar (the core program in writing for freshman). The English and Writing faculty at Sacred Heart are dedicated to providing solid oral and written communication skills and literary competency in our courses for the core curriculum. Our goals include:

  • Coordinating our curriculum with the University's mission
  • Vigorous faculty development
  • Remaining current in our discipline
  • Creating an atmosphere of mutual respect and cooperation
  • Focusing on each student as a unique human being, the whole person.

Requirements:

The successful candidate will have an MA, MFA, or PhD, excellent teaching skills and references, and ability to work outside her or his area of specialization. The job will consist of teaching service courses, including our First Year Seminar (FYWS) and our foundational core course, "Experiencing Literature" (ENG 201). They will also actively promote a collegial environment and consciously apply our mission and values to create a safe space where all may thrive and succeed.

Application Instructions:

Applicants should submit C.V., cover letter and the contact information for one personal reference via this online portal. Questions regarding this position may be addressed to Dr. Peter M. Sinclair, Department Chair. Applications will be reviewed as they are received and qualified candidates will be considered until our needs are met. Online submissions only, please.

Sacred Heart University is a space that respects and embraces differences, recognizes the unique contributions that individuals can make, and creates a community that maximizes the potential of all faculty and staff. As an equal opportunity employer, we encourage applications from qualified candidates who reflect the wider world in which we live.
