The Center for Women’s and Gender Studies at West Virginia
University (WVU) (womensgenderstudies.wvu.edu)
invites applications for a full-time Teaching Faculty position at the rank of Instructor
or Assistant Professor beginning August 2015.
Appointment at the rank of Instructor requires a master’s degree; appointment
at the rank of Assistant Professor requires a doctorate. In either case, the
degree should be in Women’s and Gender Studies or a closely related area. We seek a colleague with excellent
communication and teaching skills who is able to teach in multiple formats
(small- and large-enrollment, face-to-face and online), advise and mentor
undergraduates, develop new courses and assess them, supervise teaching
assistants, coordinate large student events, recruit majors and minors, and
contribute to program needs by teaching two or more of the following courses: Introduction
to Women’s and Gender Studies, Eco-Feminism, Women in Film, Gender and
Violence, Gender and Violence in Horror Films, Sexuality in American Culture and
Women in Appalachia.
Teaching faculty appointments at WVU are full-time,
nine-month, renewable-term appointments with full benefits. Teaching faculty members
with doctoral degrees are eligible for promotion in rank; however, promotion to
senior ranks is not a requirement for institutional commitment and career
stability. The teaching load is eight courses or course equivalents per year,
with no traditional research assignment. Teaching faculty members are expected
to present evidence of ongoing engagement in assessment-based advancement of
instructional processes. The initial term is for one-year, renewable thereafter
in terms of up to three-years, with no maximum number of terms. Summer teaching
for additional compensation may be available.
To apply, please send via e-mail a cover letter addressing
the skills and qualifications described above, a CV, evidence of successful
teaching, and contact information for three references as a single PDF to
Shelby McClure at smcclur4@mail.wvu.edu.
Direct inquires to the Director of the
Center, Jennifer.Orlikoff@mail.wvu.edu. Review of applications will begin on June 15,
2015 and continue until the position is filled.
WVU is an Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action
Employer and the recipient of an NSF ADVANCE award for gender equity. The university is committed to diversity and
welcomes applications from all qualified individuals, including minorities,
females, individuals with disabilities, and veterans."
