When it comes to being a first year student, Ana Avalos wishes she knew the importance of exploring more places outside of Gallaudet.





[post description]: Black and white photo of female. White box with blue font that reads
“What I could have done during my Freshman is the chance to explore more outside of Gallaudet University. It was my first time living in another state that was so far away from home. I was so into my academic and stayed at my dorm very often. Despite of socializing, I was shy to ask my friends to go hang out with me. I felt that I was bothering them. All I did was go to Walmart to get some food or at the Union Station, but that was it. If you want to go explore D.C with your friends, DO IT. Who knows? You might find a favorite food place to eat with friends!”

We had planned to be super creative with our entry but once we got together, we became distracted! We just love reading!

APPLY TODAY!

The English Department is hiring for three open rank positions. Come join our team!

Gallaudet University serves deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing students from diverse backgrounds and seeks to develop a workforce that reflects the diversity of its student body. Gallaudet is an equal employment opportunity/affirmative action employer and actively encourages deaf, hard of hearing, members of traditionally underrepresented groups, people with disabilities, women, and veterans to apply to open positions.

General Information: The Department of English has one undergraduate program offering a BA in English and two minors, one in English and one in Writing. The department also runs the English Center, which provides tutoring to all students at the university.

The department is seeking to hire three full-time faculty at the Non-Tenure Track, Pre-Tenure Track, or Tenure-Track (instructor or assistant professor) level. Candidates must state in their application materials which track they would like to be considered for. The positions will start in August 2021 and are contingent upon need and funding.

We welcome versatile candidates who have knowledge of and experience teaching diverse deaf and hard of hearing students in a wide range of courses, which include:
• developmental and support English courses;
• freshman/sophomore composition courses
• general studies courses;
• general humanities courses; and
• English major courses, which include literature and literary theory, cultural studies, cinema and media studies, professional writing, writing for social and digital media, and creative writing.
For appointment at the tenure track, preference will be given to applicants who can contribute to major/minor curriculum development and teach major level courses. The department is particularly interested in applicants who can teach critical race theory, literature from traditionally underrepresented groups, cinema and media studies, creative writing, professional writing, and writing for digital and social media. Training and experience in teaching composition and/or ELL students is also preferred. Teaching assignments typically include multiple composition courses and one major-level course each semester.
Primary Responsibilities:
Non-tenure track faculty teach four courses each semester. Pre-tenure track faculty teach two courses each semester. Tenure track faculty teach three courses each semester. Teaching assignments will depend upon the needs of the department and the interests and skills of the faculty member. In addition to teaching, non-tenure track faculty are evaluated in one additional area, scholarship/creative work or service at department and university levels. Pre-tenure track faculty are expected to make significant progress towards completion of a terminal degree each semester. Tenure track faculty are expected to publish and present in their field, and to serve at department and university levels and in their profession and community.

Minimum qualifications:
For appointment to the non-tenure track, candidates must hold an MA in English or a closely related field. For appointment to the pre-tenure track, candidates must be admitted to an MFA program in writing or a doctoral program in English or a closely related field. For appointment to the tenure track, candidates must hold an MFA in writing or a doctorate in English or a closely related field. All candidates should be able to teach diverse populations effectively, including deaf and hard of hearing students. Candidates must be prepared to communicate in American Sign Language, as Gallaudet University is a bilingual university. They also must be aware of the cultural and educational implications of working with deaf and hard of hearing students.

Application Information:
Interested candidates should submit a letter of application clearly addressing their fit with the position description and their qualifications to teach the unique student body at Gallaudet. Candidates must state in their application materials which track they would like to be considered for. Other required materials include a statement of no more than one page explaining how they have previously worked to promote diversity, equity and inclusion in their educational and/or professional careers, a current curriculum vita, official graduate transcripts, and three current letters of reference. Email application materials to:
