The Creative Writing Program in the Department of English at Carnegie Mellon University invites applications for a one year Visiting Assistant Professor in English (with the possibility to renew for a second year) with a specialization in Creative Writing (Fiction), to begin Fall 2025. The successful candidate will demonstrate a strong track record of publication as well as the ability to teach a variety of courses in fiction at the undergraduate level, including an introduction to form and technique in short fiction, beginning and advanced fiction workshops, and readings in fiction. The successful candidate will be engaged in helping to sustain, and to continue to develop, a top-ranked writing program. We thus seek a candidate with experience working in diverse undergraduate communities with a commitment to adaptive and inclusive teaching strategies. We are especially interested in qualified candidates who can contribute, through their research, teaching, and/or service, to the diversity and excellence of the academic community. We strongly encourage applications from minority candidates. Those with additional specializations in other creative genres are especially encouraged to apply.
