Adjunct instructor post

The Department of English at the State University of New York at New Paltz

For the fall 2011 semester and possibly beyond, we seek an adjunct instructor to teach one
section of our 4‐credit British literature survey course, part I (Beowulf through Milton) and up
to two 3‐credit sections of Shakespeare. All three are upper‐division classes for English majors,
and are therefore an excellent opportunity for an ABD or new PhD to gain crucial experience
teaching in these key content areas.
The fall semester begins August 25 and concludes December 20. These courses are already in
the fall schedule and are filled; they will meet Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
Applicants are invited to send a cover letter, CV, and the names and contact information of
three referees to Professor Thomas G. Olsen, Chair of English, at the address below. Hard copy
or e‐mail attachments are acceptable. A brief portfolio of teaching materials is welcome but not
required. Review of materials will begin June 30, in the hopes of making an appointment in
early to mid July.
