Just minutes from campus are the country's largest water parks, scenic Delaware Water Gap Recreation Area, Appalachian Trail, and other opportunities for recreational fun.
The English Department is seeking to add to the existing Adjunct Faculty pool, which we established in Fall 2023. We need faculty to teach ENGL 101 and ENGL 103 and potentially introductory courses in literature (e.g. ENGL 162) and/or business writing (e.g. ENGL 205) in the future.
To be successful in this position, the candidate will be an effective teacher and mentor for students and an active member of the department. Applications on-hand will be used to fill vacancies as needed.

A master's degree in English or related field is required. Applicant must have relevant teaching experience in college composition and college-level writing courses.

What We Offer
Applicants are to apply through the ESU Job Portal and are required to attach a letter of application, curriculum vita, statement of teaching philosophy, unofficial undergraduate and graduate transcripts (official transcripts required before the appointment), and contact information including e-mail addresses for three professional references. Final selection will be based on excellence in scholastic achievement, professional activity, a review of the candidate's vita, and a successful interview. A teaching demonstration and portfolio review or research presentation will be required. For confidential reference letters submissions and transcripts through an agency, institution, and/or an individual please mail directly to askhr@esu.edu or to the HR Office at East Stroudsburg 105 Reibman Administration Building 200 Prospect St. East Stroudsburg, PA 18301.
