The very active Tampere subdivision of the Finnish SF Writers Association will organize KrimiCon, a minicon with the theme “bandit romance in fantasy and speculative crime” this Saturday. There will be an opening speech about science fiction & criminology, a new issue of the Kosmospenaali fanzine, and a movie (Clive Barker’s Nightbreed). Everybody welcome.
More information from Markku.T.Soikkeli (e-mail him at uta.fi).

The Department of Creative Writing at the University of California, Riverside, invites nominations and applications for a senior faculty member (associate or full professor rank) in the writing of speculative fiction. Significant publication required in one or more modes of contemporary speculative fiction: science fiction, fantasy, horror, magic realism, slipstream fiction, transrealism, interstitial fiction, the new weird, dark fantasy, new wave fabulism, cross-genre and post-genre fiction. Additional expertise in new media, new media technologies, and nontraditional ways of disseminating writing would be an advantage, as would professional experience in science writing or writing about technoculture. Successful applicants will demonstrate a commitment to continuing their professional writing and publishing activities and a broad knowledge of relevant literatures. Teaching duties will include undergraduate and graduate courses and the mentoring of MFA students and supervision of their theses.
Starting date for the position is July 1, 2009. First organized teaching would be in the Fall 2009 quarter.
Prerequisites are professional publication and prior teaching experience. Ph.D, MFA, MA in a relevant field or professional equivalent (at least two published books) required. Rank and salary are commensurate with education and experience.
An application letter, curriculum vitae, and the names and addresses of three referees should be submitted to:
Professor Tom Lutz, Chair
Creative Writing Search Committee
c/o: Yvonne Howard
Department of Creative Writing
University of California, Riverside, CA 92521
Candidates may be asked to submit additional materials, including evidence of quality teaching, writing samples, and additional letters of recommendation, after initial review.
The review of applications will begin on December 17, 2008, but applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
The University of California, Riverside is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer, committed to excellence through diversity.
