The Department of English at Texas Tech University invites applications for

rhetoric, creative writing, film, linguistics, literary studies, and technical
communication. The successful candidate must be able to provide
leadership in realizing the department's strategic vision, promoting the
humanities, addressing the challenges of public higher education, and
cultivating civic engagement.
It is expected that the chair, like all new faculty, will be engaged in
scholarship or creative activity that attracts outside funding in the form of
fellowships, grants, exhibits, and similar kinds of support.
The Department of English is large (52 faculty, 500 undergraduate majors,
150 graduate students), dynamic, and diverse, with B.A., M.A., and Ph.D.
degrees in English and B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees in Technical
Communication. We lead the university in online education. The
department cooperates in interdepartmental programs in linguistics and
comparative literature at both graduate and undergraduate levels. The
department supports three scholarly journals (Conradiana, The Eighteenth
Century: Theory and Interpretation, and Technical Communication
Quarterly), and three literary journals (32 Poems, Harbinger, and Iron
Horse Literary Review) as well as the Digital Humanities Lab, LetterPress
Lab, Multiple Literacies Lab, and Usability Research Lab. We have hosted
several national conferences and will host the Western American Literature
Conference in November 2012. For more information, please visit
