About The Position

The Provost Office at Ithaca College, in partnership with the Department of Writing, invites applicants for the pre-doctoral Julian Euell Future Faculty Fellowship for the 2027–2028 academic year. The fellowship seeks advanced doctoral candidates with expertise in one or more of these areas: creative nonfiction, the essay, writing for popular media, literary journalism, and writing studies. It provides teaching experience and mentorship as fellows complete their dissertations. Over one year, fellows teach one course per semester, participate in scholarly forums, develop pedagogical skills, and receive professional development to prepare for academic careers. The fellowship is non-renewable and runs from August 16, 2027, through May 31, 2028. Fellows receive a $43,260 stipend, $5,000 for travel and professional development, relocation reimbursement, office space, health benefits, access to Ithaca College and Cornell University libraries, and a dedicated faculty mentor in their program. The role is a full-time, limited-term faculty appointment on a non-tenured, non-tenure-track basis at Ithaca College’s Ithaca, New York campus. Faculty members in the bargaining unit are covered by the collective bargaining agreement between Ithaca College and SEIU Local 200 United. Successful candidates must meet with union leadership before their first day. Visa sponsorship is not provided. Applicants must be enrolled in an accredited Ph.D. program at a U.S. institution, be authorized to work in the United States, demonstrate commitment to college-level teaching and equitable classroom practices, and provide evidence of a scholarly agenda. Before August 15, 2027, applicants must have advanced to candidacy and have an approved dissertation proposal. Preference is given to candidates in the final year of dissertation writing who would benefit from the opportunity. Candidates demonstrating commitment to minoritized communities through teaching, service, or research are strongly encouraged to apply. Applications should include an unofficial transcript, a cover letter addressing teaching pedagogy and career interests, research agenda, dissertation-completion timeline, and contribution to the chosen department’s curriculum; a CV; a proposed course syllabus; and contact information for two references. Applications should be received by November 15, 2026, for full consideration, and are not complete until all materials are received. Employment offers are contingent on review of a criminal background check.
