Position Summary:
ENMU-Roswell, a Hispanic-Serving Institution, seeks a vibrant, Tenure-Track (10-month) Assistant Professor of English to join our faculty. Applicants with experience teaching first year composition and rhetoric; who have experience with second language learners whose primary language is Spanish; and who have writing center and/or tutorial experience are especially encouraged to apply.

The selected candidate will engage a diverse student population in a range of courses including composition, literature, and professional writing.

At ENMU-Roswell, our classrooms are a delightful mix of ambitions where traditional transfer-bound students work alongside aspiring nurses, future welders, adult learners returning to rewrite their next chapter, and first-generation trailblazers.

Located in the heart of Southeast New Mexico, Roswell offers the perfect balance of small-town charm and outdoor adventure. With 50,000 residents, Roswell is a family-friendly community just an hour from mountain hiking and skiing and a short drive to the metropolitan hubs of Albuquerque and Lubbock.
