Many of the university’s students are the first in their families to earn a university degree. While the university enrolls traditional full-time students, many students enroll part-time and attend late afternoon, evening and weekend classes because of work and family responsibilities.

CSU Dominguez Hills offers 45 baccalaureate degrees, 24 master’s degrees, and a number of certificate and credential programs.

The academic programs of the university are organized under the Colleges of Arts and Humanities, Business Administration and Public Policy, Extended and International Education, Natural and Behavioral Sciences, Education, and Health and Human Services, and Nursing. While continuing to emphasize the liberal arts and sciences, professional programs offered at the undergraduate and graduate level, developed to serve the region’s workforce needs, are of great interest to students and prepare them for professions in a variety of industries.

Known for excellence in teacher education, nursing, psychology, business administration, and digital media arts, new degree programs include computer science, criminal justice, recreation and leisure studies, social work, and communication disorders. CSU Dominguez Hills is a national leader in distance learning with 10 academic degrees and seven certificate programs offered.

Faculty: A tradition of teaching excellence lies at the heart of the university experience for Dominguez Hills’ students. Most of the faculty have earned doctoral degrees from prestigious universities across the nation. The faculty strives to sustain a dynamic teaching and learning environment in a multicultural setting. The Academic Senate provides a forum for faculty, administration, students and others to be represented and consulted regarding such vital issues as budget priorities, academic standards, curriculum and instruction, and student affairs.

Student Life: At CSU Dominguez Hills, there’s more to student life than the classroom. The university offers a dynamic, interactive and enriching community of learners, teachers and peers sharing diverse points of view. There are multitudes of ways for students to pursue interests, get involved, and get the most from their academic experience.

An office of student life enhances student development by coordinating a variety of co-curricular activities, including 60 student organizations.

The Location: The university is located in Carson, California, in the South Bay region of Los Angeles County. Its 346-acre park-like campus is situated in the historic Rancho San Pedro, the oldest Spanish land grant in the Los Angeles area. The site remained in the continuous possession of the Dominguez family for seven generations - from its inception in 1794 to its acquisition by the state of California.

The Region: The South Bay is one of the most culturally, economically, and ethnically diverse areas in the United States, with a largely even distribution of the population with African, Asian/Pacific Islander, European, and Latino ancestry. The university is located in the city of Carson, a city of 93,000 residents and one of the many municipalities that border the city of Los Angeles. Cultural, performance and sports venues in downtown Los Angeles are about 15 minutes away and the South Bay beach communities are a few minutes away to the west and south. The StubHub, a 125-acre sports center developed by AEG and home to Major League Soccer’s L.A. Galaxy, is located on the CSUDH campus.

The campus is strategically located in the heart of a major technological, industrial and transportation complex in Southern California. This area includes the massive Port of Long Beach and the Port of Los Angeles – Southern California’s gateway to international commerce.

Emory University Oxford College (GA) - TT Open Rank - Director of Writing Programs - OFFER MADE
Emory University’s Oxford College http://www.oxford.emory.edu invites applications for a tenure-track position, open rank, open discipline, to serve as the Director of Writing Programs (Emory requisition #66080BR). The tenure-track position will begin fall 2017. The Director will have the responsibility of overseeing the development of a cohesive writing program with clear programmatic Student Learning Outcomes that connect First-Year Writing courses with Continuing Writing courses and establishing consistency across all courses requiring writing at Oxford. Responsibilities will also include developing and offering training, workshops, and seminars for faculty who teach writing courses. The successful candidate will teach two courses per term, with a mix between first-year writing and courses in the candidate’s discipline, with the possibility of a reduced teaching load in the first year.

Qualified candidates will possess a Ph.D. (open discipline) prior to start of appointment and will be able to work across disciplines to establish and support the writing program. Preference will be given to individuals with experience and demonstrated leadership in directing a Writing Center and/or Writing Program. Teaching excellence is a high priority at Oxford College. Candidates must demonstrate a genuine desire to teach in a liberal arts environment that emphasizes close student-faculty interaction and have a strong record of teaching first-year writing successfully to a diverse student population. Experience with supporting multilingual writers is desirable.

Oxford College’s current Writing Program includes a First-Year Writing Requirement, taught through the English Department, and a Continuing Writing Requirement fulfilled through courses in a number of disciplines. Because increasing numbers of students are exempting the first-year writing course, the Director of Writing Programs will provide leadership in rethinking the First-Year Writing Requirement with the possibility of creating a new requirement that is cross-disciplinary, combining writing instruction with an introduction to other disciplines. The DWP will also help determine the disposition of the Writing Center.

The Director of Writing Programs will work closely with other faculty who support the Writing Program including colleagues tasked with supporting multilingual writers. Oxford’s student population is approximately 17% international, many of whom are non-native English speakers, requiring that the writing program be designed to support both non-native English speakers and native speakers.

Applicants must submit with their applications a cover letter, CV, statement of teaching philosophy and transcripts (unofficial transcripts acceptable). Three letters of recommendation should be sent directly from recommenders to oxford-searches@listserv.cc.emory.edu with “Writing Programs” in the subject line.

College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences

Department of Writing and Linguistics

The Department of Writing and Linguistics in the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences invites nominations and applications for the tenure-track advanced assistant or associate professor with an emphasis or expertise in at least two areas of our major—technical and professional writing, creative writing, writing studies/rhetoric, and applied linguistics.

Georgia Southern University, classified as a doctoral/research institution by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, is a member of the University System of Georgia.

NOTES:

University of California San Diego (CA) - Marshall College, Dimensions of Culture Writing Program Director - Lecturer with Potential Security of Employment
Thurgood Marshall College, formerly known as Third College, was founded in 1970 in a period of transformative social change in the United States and the world. From its beginning, the college has enriched the lives of undergraduates with a commitment to the development of young people as both professionals and engaged citizens. In 1993, the college was named in honor of former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. Justice Marshall is well known for his dedication to educational opportunity for all, civil rights, freedom of speech, women's rights, and the right to privacy.

Thurgood Marshall College at the University of California, San Diego, is committed to academic excellence and diversity within the faculty, staff, and student body, and seeks a Lecturer with Potential for Security of Employment (LPSOE) to serve as director of its Dimensions of Culture Writing Program. The LPSOE writing director position is a nine-month (academic-year) appointment. LPSOEs are full members of the Academic Senate of the Faculty of the University of California, San Diego. The position is analogous to a tenure-track assistant professor whose expertise and responsibilities center on undergraduate education.

Thurgood Marshall's Writing Program, “Dimensions of Culture—Diversity, Justice, and Imagination” (DOC), challenges students to develop a historically grounded understanding of the diverse experiences that have shaped U.S. culture. The distinctive core sequence, which serves as the centerpiece of the general education requirements, emphasizes a deep examination of American society. DOC is designed to be an interdisciplinary curriculum that explores the promise of the nation's founding ideals juxtaposed to collective struggles to realize those ideals for all communities. The year-long Dimensions of Culture Program introduces TMC students to major issues in the history of the United States with an emphasis on the tension between the nation's founding principles and the inequality and lack of opportunity experienced by various groups over time.

Topics include:
 * successive waves of immigration
 * the formation of stratifications based on gender, class, "race," religion, and other categories
 * the social movements that struggled to fulfill the founding ideals

Job Summary: The Assistant Professor of Rhetoric & Composition will support the work of teaching and learning for rhetorical proficiency within the First Year Experience ( FYE) and in the broader curriculum.

Major Duties and Responsibilities: Candidates for this position will have not only a demonstrated capacity for excellent teaching, but also strong experience in the kinds of programmatic work which sustain such teaching. As a part of this primary focus, an ideal candidate will be prepared to teach in the Commitment Program, a program within the FYE which contributes to the success of traditionally underrepresented and under-served students at Regis; in addition, an ideal candidate will have experience with holistic advising and mentoring of students from diverse backgrounds. Outside of the foundational core, this position offers avenues for teaching in our signature Integrative Core, in our integrative programs (Catholic Studies, Environmental Studies, Peace and Justice Studies, and Womens and Gender Studies) and in course offerings which support rhetoric and writing across the curriculum (such as our Writing Concentration). Because the FYE is the first contact faculty and staff have with our incoming students, the Assistant Professor of Rhetoric & Composition will contribute to FYE and campus-wide collaboration towards an environment which is both welcoming and intellectually engaging, an environment which fosters success for all our new students.

Finally, we are seeking a scholar-teacher with a strong interest in and capacity for a research program in the Scholarship in Teaching and Learning which can serve to enhance these programmatic efforts.

Responsibilities: Teach within the first two years for employment a 3-2 course load per year, thereafter a 2-2 course load as the faculty member assumes greater programmatic responsibilities and stronger leadership role in areas of professional expertise. Develop and implement faculty development workshops for teaching composition and rhetoric within the FYE and across the curriculum. Offer pedagogical support for new FYE faculty through class observation and mentoring. Help to create and maintain a digital repository of programmatic materials as well as curricular models and best practices for teaching composition and rhetoric. Participate in the FYE Advisory Councils work to ensure high-impact learning for our students so that we deliver the programming and education students expect when they matriculate to Regis. Contribute to the work of that same Advisory Council to assess student, faculty and programmatic outcomes. Collaborate closely with Director of the First-Year Experience, the Director of Student Support and other stakeholders in making inclusive excellence a key element of our way of proceeding. Position pending budgetary approval.

Minimum Qualifications: Commitment to the values of a Jesuit, liberal arts education. Conferred PhD in Rhetoric and Composition or in English with specialization in Rhetoric. At least three years of full-time collegiate teaching experience. Proven experience and leadership in program development and operations. Understanding of the principles, procedures, and best practices involved in faculty development for teaching composition and rhetoric. Demonstrated ability to collect, analyze, and assess data related to student success, student learning outcomes, and program effectiveness. Ability to work with students of varying academic skill levels to provide support during this year of transition. Knowledge of how to manage student activities such that an atmosphere appropriate to learning is achieved. Ability to provide the students with the academic tools needed to persist and have a successful university experience. Ability to communicate and to collaborate effectively with students, faculty and staff and to incorporate those skills into the courses they teach to provide direction in the classroom. Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and flexibility. Ability to work with teams as well as independently. Professionalism in dress, manner, behavior, and communication. Sound judgment and diplomacy in interpreting Regis College and University policy in absence of supervisor. Confidentiality and loyalty to the University and to the Regis mission. Accurate keyboarding/typing. Moderate level of computer experience using Microsoft Office for Windows.

NOTES:

University of Houston (TX) - Houston Writing Fellows
With nearly fifty faculty, the University of Houston's English Department is the largest department in one of the nation's most diverse public research-one institutions. With almost forty thousand students in the fourth largest city in the United States, the University has no ethnic majority. Like the city it serves, the University of Houston today has the multi-cultural dynamic that will become the norm across the country in years to come.

The English Department has a deep commitment to the art and craft of writing and, relatedly, to writing instruction. Long recognized for its Creative Writing program, the Department is committed to innovative writing pedagogy, and offers a doctoral concentration in Rhetoric, Composition and Pedagogy that builds on the diversity of the city and University. In particular, the Department is interested in how the field of Rhetoric, Composition, and Pedagogy intersects with such areas as cultural studies, literacy studies, theories of gender, race, and identity, and how they contribute to the theory and practice of writing and writing instruction. The concentration aspires to build on the dynamic relationship that exists between the University and its multi-cultural setting.

The Houston Writing Fellows Program grows out of this commitment to studying the theory and practices of writing instruction. The Program is meant to involve instructors in an intellectual community that fosters theorized and self-reflective teaching practices. The appointment of Writing Fellows, professionals who are interested in working with faculty, graduate and undergraduate students to examine and refine their teaching, is an effort to broaden and deepen the community of scholar-teachers, and to add to the discourse in the field of Rhetoric, Composition, and Pedagogy.

Participants normally teach the equivalent of four sections per semester of the first-year composition sequence (English 1303 or 1304), and are expected to participate in the events, workshops, seminars offered by the Department’s writing program.

Application process and criteria for selection: candidates should submit a letter of application that speaks to their teaching experience and their research interests in writing pedagogy, and addresses how they can contribute to and benefit from the Houston Writing Fellowship Program; a current curriculum vitae; transcripts of their graduate degree(s); three letter of reference; sample teaching evaluations; and sample course syllabi. Successful candidates will combine a record of teaching and academic excellence and evidence of the ability to contribute to the intellectual community of the Program.

The University of Houston is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action institution. Minorities, women, veterans and persons with disabilities are encouraged to apply.

Minimum Qualifications: Individuals who have received their Ph.D. or M.F.A. degrees within the past five years are invited to apply to the Department of English’s Houston Writing Fellowship Program.

Preferred Qualifications: Evidence of effective teaching, and of ongoing interest and research activity in writing pedagogy and innovative teaching.

Special Instructions to the Applicant: Official transcripts are required for a faculty appointment and will be requested upon selection of final candidate. All positions at the University of Houston are security sensitive and will require a criminal history check.

University of Southern California (CA) - Teaching Track Faculty Positions in Writing Program (fixed-term - renewable) - OFFERS MADE
The USC Writing Program in the Dana and David Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences in Los Angeles, California, seeks qualified applicants for full-time teaching positions—Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, Master Lecturer, Assistant Professor (Teaching), Associate Professor (Teaching), and Professor (Teaching)—to join our faculty beginning Fall 2017.

The Writing Program offers courses that fulfill the undergraduate writing requirement in a context informed by the rhetorical tradition, process theory, and ethical discursive practices. First-year courses develop students’ writing and critical reasoning skills within thematic contexts. Advanced courses, attended primarily by juniors and seniors, bring students together based on their academic interests and career goals, addressing writing in different disciplines for various audiences. Small class sizes in both first-year and upper-level courses facilitate a workshop model of instruction, frequent one-on-one and small-group conferencing, and an emphasis on the writing process.

Full-time faculty teach three sections each semester, for which they will develop syllabi and assignments in accordance with program guidelines. The Writing Program also provides significant opportunities for professional growth and development. Faculty are eligible to participate in program, college, and university governance. New faculty will join a vibrant community of teachers, writers, and scholars composed of faculty and graduate students from a range of disciplines.

The Writing Program hopes to hire faculty interested in making a career of teaching writing at USC. Initial appointments are fixed-term, with the possibility of renewal contingent on performance and review by the program faculty, its directors, and the college deans. Dornsife provides opportunities for promotion based on demonstrated teaching excellence and service to the program, school, and university.

Qualifications: Candidates should have a Ph.D. or other terminal degree by June 2017. We require demonstrated excellence in teaching writing at the college level and we value familiarity with the needs of writers whose first language is not English. While many of our faculty have scholarly backgrounds in English Literature or Rhetoric and Composition, we welcome candidates from all fields.

Application Procedure: The deadline for applications is November 30, 2016. Applicants should submit a letter of application, CV, teaching evaluations and the names of three referees who can speak to teaching abilities. The referees will be contacted directly by USC. In order to be considered for this position, all candidates must apply via the “ CLICK HERE ” link at the top or bottom of this page.

USC is an equal-opportunity educator and employer, proudly pluralistic and firmly committed to providing equal opportunity for outstanding persons of every race, gender, creed and background.
