Accepts (genre):
Prize/Payment: the position pays $70,000 and includes full benefits, spacious housing and an office
The Peter Trias Residency for Writers at Hobart and William Smith Colleges has been designed to give poets and fiction writers time to write. Created with the working artist in mind, academic expectations are structured for sustained interaction with our best students while providing the freedom necessary to produce new work. We hope to create an environment where a literary person can work and contribute to the intellectual environment of the Colleges and the town of Geneva. The residency offers a generous salary.
In the fall, the writer is in full-time residency and teaches one advanced workshop to select students. In the low-residency spring semester, the writer makes scheduled visits to campus and runs a small tutorial through electronic media.
QUALIFICATIONS: A writer of national or international reputation with well-received book publications and a demonstratable ability to teach undergraduate students. Applications for the Residency are due November 1, 2010.
COMPENSATION: The position pays $70,000 and includes full benefits, spacious housing and an office.
The application asks for “evidence of Teaching Excellence.” The selection committee for the Trias Chair is interested both in writers with academic backgrounds, and those whose experience with teaching may be less formal. As such, evidence of teaching excellence can take many forms. Course evaluations and relevant recommendations will suffice for applicants who have access to such materials
Applicants who do not have such documentation might provide some of the following, as long as it is sufficient to document your qualifications and skills as a teacher.
* statement of teaching philosophy
* list of informal/non-academic teaching experience teaching experience, such as at conferences, in the community, in prisons, as a visiting lecturer, etc.
* recorded appearances/readings/lectures
* sample syllabi
* additional recommendations
