English Faculty

Position: English Faculty

Office/Department: English

Grove City College invites applications for a permanent faculty position in English. The department welcomes candidates who demonstrate a robust understanding of and commitment to literary learning in the Christian liberal arts tradition. Above all, GCC seeks scholars and teachers sympathetic to the institutional vision. Rank is open; teaching scholars at any level of their career and with any literary specialty may apply. Several areas of scholarly expertise which may immediately benefit the program include classical and medieval literature, 18th century British literature, and/or African American literature. English faculty at Grove City College are expected to teach a broad literary survey for non-majors as well as first-year college writing.

In addition to academic advising and service on academic committees, all faculty at Grove City College enjoy an array of professional development opportunities with regard to their research and teaching goals through support for conference presentations and professional organizations, summer research grants, faculty-student research, faculty-led travel courses and internships. In particular the successful candidate will have the opportunity to help the English Department host its annual Christian Writers Conference. Past Conferences have either served as regional meetings of scholarly associations such as the Conference on Christianity and Literature, the C.S. Lewis and Inklings Society, and the George Herbert Society, or hosted contemporary artists and highly regarded literary scholars (e.g., Karen Swallow Prior, Makoto Fujimura, Malcolm Guite, and Scott Cairns).

Please send a current curriculum vitae, names and contact information of four references (three professional and one pastoral), and a letter of interest that includes an explanation of how your Christian faith represents a strong fit with Grove City College’s unique mission as a Christian college to: Mrs. Jamie N. Kimble, Associate Director of Human Resources at employment@gcc.edu.
