About Manhattanville
Manhattanville University is an independent, coeducational, liberal arts university located about 30 miles north of New York City on a picturesque campus of 100 acres. The University enrolls a nationally and internationally diverse student body of approximately 2,500 undergraduate and graduate students with over 40% of our students coming from historically underrepresented populations. Building on its heritage of social justice and social activism, the University prepares students through rigorous academic and co-curricular programs, for ethical and socially responsible leadership in a global community. We achieve this through integrated learning that combines classroom rigor with experiential opportunities, leadership with service, intimate attention with global reach, progressive change with enduring values, and social commitment with ethical responsibility. The University is fully committed to an inclusive and culturally diverse faculty, staff and student community. We seek to recruit qualified and diverse candidates who will help us achieve our goal of creating an inclusive community that is welcoming to all people.
Under the supervision of the Director of Field Placement and Certification, the role of the University Field Supervisor (CFS) is vital in the development of a high quality student/supervised teaching program.
Serving as liaison between Manhattanville University and placement schools, the University Field Supervisor will observe, evaluate and confer with each student/supervised teacher assigned (and cooperating teacher, if applicable) through the following responsibilities, knowledge, skills and abilities:
- A minimum of 5 years of successful classroom teaching.
- Highly skilled professional background in education; Supervision experience of classroom teaching a plus.
- Excellent interpersonal, time management, written and verbal communication skills.

- Communication with seminar professors who conduct weekly integrating seminars which are a vital part of the Manhattanville University Education Program. These weekly seminars provide theory, teaching strategies, background curriculum, materials, resources, self-reflection and self-analysis to the student/supervised teacher. They are designed to help student/supervised teachers approach their field experiences with better understanding of educational issues, methods and curriculum, and to provide assistance to the student/supervised teacher to resolve problems and answer questions.
- Collecting, reviewing, reflecting and discussing all assessment information with each student/supervised teacher and arriving at a final report that will be placed in the student/supervised teacher’s file located in the School of Education.

Manhattanville University is seeking an adjunct instructor to teach Literary Theory and Criticism for the Fall 2024 semester (September 3 – December 20). Please note that if the Fall semester is successful, there will be the possibility of future employment.
Format: Courses are scheduled to run in-person in the Fall at Manhattanville College. Preferred meeting dates are Mondays and/or Wednesdays in the afternoon.
Course Description:
This class will introduce the students to a body of ideas and methods that will offer a different understanding of literature. Literary theory allows us to look at the relationship between author and work and question the role of the author; it also allows us to look at the significance of race, class, and gender from the political, social, cultural and socio-economic framework. Literary theory offers us a multiplicity of approaches to a single text. These competing systems of inquiry often lead disagreements but as Gerald Graff argues in "Beyond Culture Wars," these disagreements are healthy and they make us better readers. The students will be required to be active participants in the discussions. The course will culminate in a research paper.
Requirements/Preferences:
Applicants must possess an MA or PhD in English Literature. Previous experience teaching required. To apply, please send cover letter and CV to jobs@mville.edu.
Salary Range: $3,375-3,675/ semester
Anticipated Start Date: August 2024
