Part-Time Instructor Position in English

The Department of English at Ohio Wesleyan University seeks a part-time instructor to teach our College Writing Seminar in the fall semester of 2026. Additional teaching opportunities in spring 2027 are likely. Candidates should have at least a Master’s degree in English or a related field. Experience teaching first-year composition courses at the undergraduate level is expected.

Given that Ohio Wesleyan is a residential, liberal arts institution, all classes are taught in-person. We do not offer online courses during spring and fall semesters.

Pay is $5,000 per course.

If you join the Department of English, you will:

• become part of a supportive team committed to our students and to excellence in teaching.
• join a liberal arts college that is deeply committed to creating an environment that acknowledges, encourages and celebrates differences.
• be mentored by and receive support from the Chair of the department as needed.
• have an office space for use while you’re on campus.
• receive a free parking pass that allows you to park anywhere on campus.

To apply, please submit a Cover Letter indicating your interest in the position and a current C.V. (including names and contact information for three professional references) via www.owu.edu/joinOWUfaculty, where you will find additional information about working at OWU. Send any questions to Nancy Comorau, First-Year Writing Director, at nacomora@owu.edu.

Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.

NOTE: Employment sponsorship is not available for this position. Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States.
