*Diversity Pre-Doctoral Fellowship *


The English department of Le Moyne College invites applications for a
Diversity Pre-Doctoral Fellowship in one or more of the following areas of
literary studies: African American and/or African diaspora, Latina/o/x,
and/or Native American.  Applicants with secondary interests in film
studies, creative writing, rhetoric, linguistics, gender and sexuality,
and/or intersectionality are welcome.  We are seeking a scholar with a
commitment to empowering students from communities underrepresented in
academia through teaching, research, creative activity, service, and/or
mentoring.

The position, which begins in Fall 2019 and extends for two years, is
designed for scholars in the final stages of their doctoral work who need
only finish the dissertation to complete requirements for the Ph.D.  The
fellow will have the opportunity to work closely with faculty mentors in
teaching and/or scholarship, and to contribute to the intellectual life of
the college.

Diversity fellows teach a 1/1 load of literature courses in the English
major and the college core.  The position offers benefits, funds for
research and development, and a competitive salary.  Review of applications
will begin Dec. 15th, 2018, and continue until the position is
filled.  Although we will be at MLA in January, we will also conduct
interviews via Skype for those not attending the conference.

Applicants should submit: 1) a cover letter discussing their research and
scholarship, teaching philosophy and experience, and eligibility for the
fellowship; 2) a CV; 3) three (3) letters of recommendation, and 4) a
writing sample of no more than 25 pages.  To apply, visit our website at
http://www.lemoyne.edu/Work-at-Le-Moyne, click “Apply Now,” and submit a
cover letter, CV, and writing sample.  Please arrange to have three (3)
letters of reference sent electronically to [log in to unmask] with the
