The Paris Review Visiting Professor of Literature at BPI
The Paris Review Visiting Professorship at BPI is a one- or two-year position, beginning in the fall 2026 semester. A distinguished writer will join the Bard College community and teach the study of literature to students earning Bard College undergraduate degrees while incarcerated. The ideal candidate will be an emerging or established writer of fiction, poetry, plays, or literary nonfiction whose work has received critical recognition; will have published at least one but preferably two or more books; will have prior college teaching experience; and will excel in designing and teaching courses that inspire active participation from all students.
Faculty Positions
BPI and the Microcolleges offer small, seminar-style courses taught in person at the same standard of academic rigor as on the main campus. We seek faculty who excel in discussion-heavy courses that demand active participation of all students. Faculty are hired on a per-course basis and are responsible for their own transportation to and from the campuses where they teach.
