Employment Opportunities We are not recruiting new faculty during the current academic year. We rarely make temporary or visiting full-time appointments, but applications from candidates holding a Ph.D. in English are acknowledged and kept on file in case of need. When future full-time tenure track appointments are funded, we will post job listings here and on the MLA Job Information List, and we will undertake national searches. Academics seeking jobs may wish to consult the ADE/ADFL Online Job Counseling Service which has entries from 70 respondents and links to 36 articles that deal with the job search. For more information about employment at Oakland University, please visit the faculty employment opportunities page (if you are interested in a faculty position) or the staff job postings page if you are interested in a staff position. The Department of English at Oakland University does not teach or administer the freshman composition program. Applications for teaching freshman composition are acknowledged but are not kept on file. The Department infrequently hires adjunct lecturers to teach Business Writing (English 382). If you are interested in being considered for an adjunct position, please send a letter of application and CV with three references to Chair, Department of English, Oakland University, Rochester, MI 48309-4401. You may also wish to enclose a sample syllabus from a course you've taught or a brief statement of your approach to the teaching of writing. All applications will be acknowledged. Suitable applications will be kept on file in the Department and will be reviewed thoroughly when we have both the need and the opportunity to hire. Job applicants may want to explore the Department via this web page. You can look at the descriptions of our undergraduate and graduate programs, peruse the courses in our catalogue, read course descriptions for this semester, and meet some of our faculty and staff.
