JOB SUMMARY
The Simmons University graduate programs in Children’s Literature invites applications for two one-year, proportional (4/7 course load) Assistant Teaching Professors to begin in the Fall 2024 semester and conclude at the end of the Spring 2025 semester.
The graduate programs welcome applications from scholars and professionals in the domain of children’s literature with a deep knowledge of (primarily Anglophone) historical and contemporary literature for children and young adults, a grounding in literary or critical theoretical approaches to works of literature for young people, and a strong commitment to teaching and pedagogical work with a diverse body of graduate students. This unique graduate program was the first of its kind to attend solely to works published for young people and has grown to embrace dual degree programs that combine humanities and liberal arts inquiry with specific professional credentials. Consequently, applicants may approach children’s and young adult literature from a variety of scholarly or professional standpoints.
The successful candidate is a dynamic and engaged teacher with academic, creative, or relevant professional experience who will support the programs’ implementation of its core curriculum and may offer elective courses from the Graduate Course Catalog to supplement core courses. Candidates with a demonstrated record of teaching excellence and the capacity to teach in one or more of the following areas are particularly encouraged to apply:
