Lecturer Openings
The University of Tennessee English Department expects to offer several lecturer appointments beginning August 2007. These non-tenure-track positions are renewable yearly, contingent upon evidence of excellent teaching and the department's staffing needs. Requirements include evidence of effective teaching and Ph.D. in English or related discipline. Salary is $32,000, plus health and retirement benefits and a generous travel allowance. Teaching load is 12 hours per semester, at least half in first-year composition and the remainder in sophomore and, possibly, upper-division courses, subject always to curricular needs and teacher qualifications. The university welcomes and honors people of all races, creeds, cultures, and sexual orientations, and values intellectual curiosity, pursuit of knowledge, and academic freedom and integrity.
Applications are due by May 1 and should include a 1-2 page cover letter, vita, statement of teaching philosophy, three letters of recommendation, and any other brief documentation of teaching ability.
