This fellowship will foster the career of a scholar who has earned a PhD in a relevant field (e.g. English Literature) by August 1, 2023. This is a one-year appointment for the academic year beginning in August 2023, with the possibility of renewal. For more information and to apply, please use the following link: Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow in Logan, Utah | Careers at Logan Campus (icims.com).

The fellow will teach literature courses for majors at different levels of the curriculum. Course assignments will include Studies in C19 British Literature, Literary Analysis, and British Writers.

Course assignments will be determined by the Department Head. These courses will be offered in person on the USU Logan campus. 

The successful applicant will have earned a PhD in a relevant field (e.g. English Literature) by August 1, 2023, as well as demonstrated a strong record of teaching excellence and active research.
