**About the Faculty of Arts**:
Mount Royal University's Faculty of Arts houses the following departments: Economics, Justice, and Policy Studies; English, Languages, and Cultures; Humanities; Interior Design; Psychology; General Education; and Sociology and Anthropology. Counselling also reports to the Faculty of Arts. The Faculty of Arts offers degrees in Anthropology, Criminal Justice, English, History, Interior Design, Policy Studies, Psychology, and Sociology, and offers courses to the 15,000 students enrolled at Mount Royal University. In addition, the Faculty of Arts offers 26 minors over a diverse range of disciplines. Arts faculty have received national and international recognition for their teaching and research, hold Tri-Council grants, publish books, and disseminate research in top-ranked academic journals.

**About the Department of English, Languages, and Cultures**:
Building on its history at Mount Royal and its location in Calgary, the Department of English, Languages, and Cultures is passionately committed to the study of writing as well as of literary and filmic texts. The Department offers a degree program in the Bachelor of Arts (English), with streams for a Major in English as well as the Honours degree. It also offers Minors in Film Studies, Creative Writing, Environmental Humanities, English, Spanish, and French.

We value supportive learning, inclusiveness, and equity, with a strong tradition of smaller class sizes, which allow for personalized learning and enhanced student participation. Our award-winning faculty offer a rich variety of both traditional and cutting edge courses, with a strong emphasis on developing the critical and creative writing of our students. We read the text not just to find out what it says, but to see how it works—how it shapes our critical and ethical sensibilities, our awareness of culture and tradition, and our identities as peoples in communities larger than ourselves.

**About the Role**:
The responsibilities of a faculty member in the TSS pattern include:

- Teaching six courses, of approximately 30 students per class, per academic year. These could include a mix of courses in American literature, in addition to other courses in the English program and the university General Education program. Release time is provided for those who hold research grants.
- Collaborating effectively with colleagues on curriculum development and educational innovation;
- Remaining current in areas of teaching responsibility;
- Contributing to program, university, and/or external/community service;
- Pursuing a research program as befits an undergraduate teaching-focused institution. Research opportunities may include supervision of research assistants or Honours students. The Office of Research, Scholarship and Community Engagement (ORSCE) provides support for research and scholarly activities.

**Qualifications**:
A Ph.D. in English with a focus on American literatures is required, as is an emerging or established body of scholarly work in that area.
- Expertise in Black American literatures;
- Successful previous post-secondary teaching experience in courses related to American Literature;
- Experience in curriculum development (e.g., creating courses, lectures, learning activities, and assignments); and
- Demonstrated commitment to
