Applicants should have a strong interest in general education at the undergraduate level, a commitment to writing as one of the cornerstones of the liberal arts, and an active interest in interdisciplinary research and collaboration. Demonstrated success as a teacher is essential. New faculty responsibilities in 2023 include a one-week training session (June 12–16) and intensive full-time teaching during the program (August 10–31). Terminal degree (MFA or PhD) is preferred.
