As some of you know, I teach at Vermont College in the MFA in Writing for Children/YA program. We are growing, and we will need more writers who teach. Here's a notice from our administrative director. If you're interested, you can contact Melissa Fisher (info below) or you can reply off-list to me with questions. leda www.ledaschubert.com

Vermont College of Fine Arts invites published authors with teaching experience to apply for part-time visiting faculty positions in its highly-acclaimed MFA in Writing for Children & Young Adults program. The College seeks a number of prospective faculty members who can be hired in the coming years to meet expected growth. Faculty positions require presence, readings, lectures, and leading workshops on campus for 11-day residencies every six months. Faculty oversee independent study work for the six months between residencies, thus allowing educational work to be interwoven with the activities of home, community, and personal artistic practice. Applications will be reviewed on criteria including publications, teaching experience, literary nominations and awards, and education. An advanced degree is preferred butnot required.
