Associate Professor/Professor and Chair of the Department of English
The University of Texas at San Antonio Department of English invites applications for a tenured Associate Professor or Professor to serve as the Chair of the Department for an initial term of three years (renewable).
College of Liberal and Fine Arts
The department of English is housed within the College of Liberal and Fine Arts (COLFA). COLFA is on an accelerated trajectory of transformation and growth fueled by three major drivers: reimagining the humanities, recommitting to arts education, and bolstering social science research. The successful candidate will play a leading role in the ongoing development of the School and COLFA.
Department of English
The Department of English boasts nearly 400 majors, more than 50 MA students, and over 25 PhD students in the only doctoral program in the humanities at UT San Antonio. The position of Department Chair at the rank of a tenured Associate or Full Professor begins July 1, 2025. Candidates should demonstrate considerable management experience and a proven ability to lead a thriving department at an R1 institution, a distinguished record of scholarship and teaching excellence, and a strong commitment to interdisciplinarity.
Position Summary The course load in the Department is typically two courses per semester (2/2) at the undergraduate and graduate level, with the department chair receiving two course releases per year (1/1). The successful candidate will also be expected to maintain an active research agenda as administrative duties permit and to contribute to the university and community through service activities, and to show evidence of ability to secure grants and external funding where applicable.
The new chair will lead department efforts in forging and implementing long‑term goals; recruiting students and faculty members; continuing to develop a robust and innovative English curriculum; and fostering faculty development and leadership.
