NOTES:


 * Please read this article  and conduct careful research. While there are many lovely aspects about Appalachian, you should know that professional writing is situated in a highly contentious English program. In fact, the Department of English personally received a hiring freeze a couple of years ago due to its toxic working environment. There is a clear literature and rhetoric divide, with professional writing caught somewhere in the middle. Many faculty in this department have little respect for non-tenure track faculty, particularly the rhetoric and compositionists. You should only apply for this job if you are published and focused entirely on professional writing. Generalist rhetoric and compositionists should not attempt to "pass" for this position. For those who apply, please make a significant programmtic difference; they need it. \

'''I've heard that this campus has recently been in danger of losing state funding and/or closing. Does anybody (perhaps closer to the ground in Nevada) know the current situation? The job sounds really ideal, but more information would help me feel less anxious about job security, should I apply.'''


 * I'm a lurker who has some friends in higher ed in Nevada - the quick sense I've gotten from them is that the tense times were in 2010 (and a year or two of aftermath) and that there has been some turnaround (the issue was never student enrollment). I heard that it was earmarked for closure in large part because the college simply didn't own very many (if any) of the buildings it was based in so (for a politician I guess? from a budget standpoint) it looked easier on paper to close. I did hear that the campus is a bit scattered and this news story references that somewhat. All of that said - I think it's always worth applying to any job that has potential. It might not be the question to ask in a first round interview, but if you were to go on a campus visit I think it's only fair to ask about the college's mission and state commitment to it in light of Nevada's budgetary decisions. And ask more than one person (and in formal/informal settings) to make sure you have the best picture and can really understand what it was like during that time for the faculty there.


 * I wonder if there's been any headway on gaining the federal Hispanic Serving Institution status that the article mentions. Thank you for the additional context!

NOTES:


 * Similar search was conducted by this school last year (see Rhetoric/Composition 2013). Is this a new line?
 * Really quick turn around on the rejections. Maybe...they already had a specific canddiate in mind? ---> Maybe.  But I doubt it.  A friend and I both received friendly requests for full dossiers, and neither of us know anyone at the school.  Let's all agree to skip the part where we speculate about secret inside hires this year, please? :: I've also had a request for the dossier without knowing anyone at the school. ::
 * I can confirm this is a completely new line - I had a conference interview with this department last year and the committee said that they had been greenlighted to make a number of hires over the next handful of years in rhet/comp that are TT (prior to last year's hire their rhet/comp folks were exclusively in lecturer positions) so it may be they are even hiring again next year. Michigan Tech seems to be taking a similar, multi-year approach too, as this is the third year of hiring for them after two successful hires over the last two years. (And Pitt's ad on MLA says they plan to hire several positions over the next few years, pending budgetary approval). P.S. I'm a lurker from job market's past interested in job/hiring trends in our field.
 * I can also confirm that this is a new line; I know the person who was hired last year.

The Writing Program is an independent unit within the Humanities Division, which also includes the Departments of Feminist Studies, History, History of Consciousness, Linguistics, Literature, Philosophy, and the Language Program. The Division has a strong tradition of collaborative and interdisciplinary work, and encourages applications from qualified candidates eager to extend their activities across departmental and disciplinary boundaries.

University of Southern California - Full-Time Non-Tenure-Track Positions in Writing
The University of Southern California Writing Program in the Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences in Los Angeles, California, seeks qualified applicants for full-time non-tenure-track teaching positions—Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, Master Lecturer, Assistant Professor (Teaching), Associate Professor (Teaching), and Professor (Teaching)—to join our faculty beginning Fall 2014.

The Writing Program teaches 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, composed primarily of 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 non-tenure-track 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 PhD or other terminal degree by June 2014. 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 December 2, 2013. 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, applicants are required to submit an electronic USC application; follow this job link or paste in a browser: https://jobs.usc.edu/applicants/Central?quickFind=72646

NOTES:


 * NOTE: Applicants might want to be aware of some context for these positions: VMI's English department recently underwent a shift in its curriculum. It changed from a Department of English and Fine Arts to a Department of English, Rhetoric, and Humanistic Studies (ERH). As a result, six professors resigned, two philosophers previously teaching in a different department at the institute moved into the newly-organized and interdisciplinary ERH department, and five tenure-track professors--specializing in a variety of disciplines--were hired last season. There has been a lot of controversy over the curriculum change, as you might imagine, and there is also a lot of misinformation that continues to circulate. As a result, the department is still innovating and developing the new curriculum, which has some really exciting potential for rhetoric and composition specialists.

NOTES:

With a clear pattern of retrenchment across PA state universities (Clarion, Edinboro, Mansfield, and maybe East Stroudsburg), jobs in the PA state system appear less stable every day. You should still apply, but proceed with caution. Make an informed decision. Read as much as you can about retrenchment at PA state universities before applying (The Chronicle has a few well-written articles on the subject). Because new faculty are often the most vulnerable, at the very least be sure to ask questions about retrenchment at the phone and campus interview stages.
