Professor Creative Writing Program CA&S

Boston University • Boston, MA • 12h ago

The Boston University Creative Writing Program (CWP) seeks a fiction
writer of national/international stature to teach in its renowned MFA
Program, including recruitment and mentoring of MFA fiction writers,
occasionally teach undergraduates, and direct the CWP. The successful
candidate will be considered for appointment to the Andrew W. Mellon
Professorship in the Humanities, at the rank of Full Professor, with
tenure. The Andrew W. Mellon Professorship in the Humanities was
established in 1973 by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation as a way to help
strengthen the influence of the humanities in educational programs.
Primary expertise and significant publications in fiction (ideally short
fiction and the novel) in English is required; publication and teaching
expertise in a second genre (e.g. Creative Nonfiction) would be a plus,
as would publication and teaching experience in Literary Translation. We
are looking for a colleague who will help administer and build our
Creative Writing Program, and administrative experience is necessary for
the directorship of the CWP. The starting salary for this position will
be \$150,000 to \$220,000. TO APPLY: Send cover letter; CV; writing
sample (max 20 pages); teaching statement; creative statement; and three
letters of reference by February 2, 2026, to ensearch@bu.edu. Since its
founding in 1839, Boston University has embraced a mission of openness
and access, becoming one of the first universities in the nation to
welcome all students of ability regardless of race, gender, or creed.
That tradition shapes our enduring commitment to academic freedom, free
inquiry, and the robust exchange of ideas. Required Skills We seek
scholars who will contribute to our community of teachers and
researchers through excellence in innovative scholarship, engaged
teaching, and participation in the intellectual life of the University.
