The majority of Honors College courses are taught in person, though online and hybrid options are available. The candidate will also collaborate with Honors College faculty, mentor undergraduate students, supervise Honors research thesis projects, and participate in appropriate levels of service to the college, university, and community.

The combination of a central Honors intellectual core and specialized learning in a major discipline helps develop graduates who are fully prepared for graduate and professional schools and for rewarding careers.
The Honors College currently has 10 faculty‑in‑residence specializing in a variety of disciplines and approximately 1,200 students. Class sizes range from 16–24 students to ensure a small, dynamic learning experience and a relationship‑rich environment.
Minimum Qualifications Ph.D. in English or M.F.A. in Creative Writing from a regionally accredited college or university, awarded prior to the start of employment.
Demonstrated record of transformative teaching in lower and upper‑division writing‑intensive courses, commitment and ability to teach service‑learning courses, and engagement in service at the student, college, university, and community level.
Preferred Qualifications Experience studying or working in an Honors environment and teaching service‑learning and online courses. Emphasis on innovative teaching methods or course design is encouraged.
Commitment to Diversity and Campus Values Successful candidate will support diversity, equity, and inclusiveness, contribute to a respectful, positive work environment, and use the Campus Values to guide decisions and actions, demonstrating UNLV’s Rebel spirit.
