University of Delaware (DE) - Postdoctoral Researchers in Writing Pedagogy (3 Positions)
The Department of English at the University of Delaware invites applications for three Postdoctoral Researcher positions focusing on Writing Pedagogy. We seek candidates who hold a PhD in any of the areas of English Studies represented in our department, including rhetoric and composition, literary and cultural studies (see our website for areas of particular strength), English Education, film, creative writing, environmental humanities, print and material culture studies, African American Studies, critical race and ethnic studies, professional writing, and transatlantic/transnational studies. The successful candidates will be engaged in the theory and practice of teaching critical writing and will be asked to draw on their scholarly training to design a seminar-style course introducing students to writing at the university.

Appointment will begin August 16, 2015 and the starting salary in 2015-16 will be $48,000, with support for research and travel, and mentoring from senior faculty in composition. Applicants must hold a PhD by the time they begin teaching. Contract is for an initial period of one year, with possibility for renewal for two additional one year terms.

The Department of English includes some of the top scholars and educators of a broad range of fields. The successful candidate will join an intellectual community determined to lead the way in re-energizing and redefining the integrated arts of critical research and writing across the spectrum of print and digital media. We seek applicants capable of engaging with our students, and contributing to our community, with expertise, imagination, and passion. These Postdoctoral Researchers will benefit from the department’s strong affiliations with interdisciplinary studies programs on campus, organizations associated with UD faculty (including the Winterthur Museum, Folger Library, Hagley Museum, and The Library Company of Philadelphia), and numerous other archives and resources in the region.

Applicants should visit http://www.udel.edu/udjobs and read “Applicant Instructions” under the “Resources for Applicants” tab before submitting their application. Applicants are asked to create and upload a single document that includes a cover letter, in which you discuss your aims in teaching writing, a CV, and a brief proposal for a writing course that speaks to the goals posted at http://www.english.udel.edu/programs/writing/Pages/engl110.aspx. We may subsequently ask you to provide other supporting materials, including a more detailed course outline, teaching materials, and letters of reference. Applications received by July 3, 2014, will be given first consideration.
