The Duke University English Department welcomes nominations and applications for a distinguished poet with a national or international reputation to be the inaugural holder of the Reynolds Price Chair in Creative writing. We seek candidates who are committed to undergraduate teaching, to the teaching of literature as well as the practice of poetry, and to active engagement with the intellectual and cultural life of the university as well as with the vibrant and diverse literary community in the Durham area. This position begins August 1, 2009 and may be either a tenure or non-tenure line, depending on qualifications and experience.
The committee will begin its deliberations on November 15th 2008. Applications received by that date will be guaranteed full consideration. Duke University is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.
