Open job at Annapolis

The English Department invites applications for the tenure-track position of Assistant Professor of English to begin as early as July 2024. We seek a specialist in Gender and Sexuality Studies (open period or genre). We welcome subspecialties in disability studies, film, and multiethnic or global Anglophone literature.
The Naval Academy English Department is a mix of civilians with doctorates and military officers. All tenure-track faculty teach both upper-level courses for English majors and sections of our two-semester first-year English sequence. The first-year courses, which are both introductions to literature and writing courses, are organized generically: plays, essays, and short stories in the fall; novels and poems in the spring. Each instructor designs an individual syllabus and chooses which texts to teach within these guidelines. Teaching Load: 9 hours/semester (typically, two sections of first-year English and one upper-level literature course). Candidates should demonstrate a strong commitment to undergraduate teaching and should show potential to continue an active scholarly program.
God forbid they should teach how to steer ships and stuff.
