A last call for the Tenure Track job in English at the University of
Lethbridge. Applications are due April 15, though we will continue
to consider applications until the position is filled.
Specialisation: 20th Century, particularly Postcolonial or
Modernism (we need people in both areas; this is the first of what
we hope will be a series of ads)
Sub-specialisation: Open (Digital Humanities is certainly
welcome and is a strategic priority of both the Faculty of Arts and
Science and the University more generally)
Starting-Salary: In the last 2 years, starting salaries at
the U of L have ranged from $63k to $92k with an average of $75k.
Deadline: April 15, 2014. We will continue to consider
applications until the position is filled; but do expect to begin
examining the pool very soon after the deadline passes (please let
your referees know this)
Further details: http://www.uleth.ca/hr/jobs/english
Required information: Applications should include a
curriculum vitae, transcripts, outlines of courses previously
taught, teaching evaluations, publication reprints or preprints, a
statement of teaching philosophy and research interests. Letter for

Our vacancy is for a tenure track position in 20th Century
literature in English. We are looking particularly for either Post
Colonial or Modernism (areas in which we have had recent retirements
or resignations). Although Digital Humanities is not a prerequisite
for the position, it is welcome: DH is a strategic priority in the
Faculty and the University and is a key component in a recent
central administration application for $4.1 million to fund a new
complex of specialised laboratories. Globalisation is also a
strategic priority of the University.
The University of Lethbridge was Canada's top undergraduate research
university in 2012 and remains in the top three. We are also putting
significant resources into the development of our (relatively new)
graduate school. The Department of English is a relatively small
unit (currently 9 full time faculty members) with a strong research
and teaching profile. Individual members of the department have
great freedom to shape their research and teaching responsibilities.
In most cases, faculty members are primarily responsible for
developing the teaching programme in their area of research
specialisation.
The University of Lethbridge is located in Southern Alberta, Canada.
Lethbridge has a population of about 80,000 people. It is close
(about 180km) to the Rocky Mountains and Calgary (225km). The
University has about 8,000 students, of which about 300 are English
majors.
Faculty in the Department have strong connections to researchers in
neighbouring institutions (University of Calgary, University of
Alberta, University of Saskatchewan, and the University of Victoria)
as well as internationally: the Department is the home of
DigitalMedievalist.org, globaloutlookdh.org, Digital Studies/Le
champ numérique, and Lethbridge Journal Incubator. It is a
former host of the Text Encoding Initiative. Faculty are also
associated with the Institute for Child and Youth Studies and the
in-preparation Centre for Studies in the Digital Age.
