The Department of Humanities, Social Sciences, and the Arts at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology (RHIT) seeks candidates for a Visiting Assistant Professor of English.

The mission of RHIT is to offer students “the world’s best undergraduate science, engineering and mathematics education in an environment of individual attention and support.” Our campus in west-central Indiana is home to 2,100 students with a passion for learning. The visiting assistant professor will join a multidisciplinary liberal arts department that teaches all Rose-Hulman students, offering many popular minors and a second major in International Studies.
