NOTES:

University of Pittsburgh (PA) - Crow Chair in Writing
Pending budgetary approval, we seek a distinguished tenured scholar at associate or full professor rank to fill the Crow Chair in Writing in Pitt’s Composition Program. The chair was established to support a professor with a record of distinguished scholarship, a strong commitment to the teaching of composition, engagement with writing instruction, broadly defined, and recognition as one who contributes broadly to the department's mission. We look for a colleague who is open to innovative writing, research, and pedagogy and to pushing the boundaries of the discipline and its relationships to other aspects of English and to the broader public—a colleague who can help mentor the up-and-coming junior faculty, attract and supervise graduate students, and share in the administration of the program and in the support of writing instruction across the university.

Such a colleague would teach a range of courses in the graduate and undergraduate curriculum and join a core faculty with a distinguished record of work in composition, literacy, pedagogy, and rhetoric whose interests include the history and theory of literacy and instruction, rhetoric and poetics, digital media, activist and working class rhetorics, material and bodily rhetorics, critical rhetorics of race and sexuality, rhetorics of science and technology, African American rhetoric and public writing, student writing, and the relationship of reading to writing. Our program has long cultivated interdisciplinary and innovative approaches to the field of composition with a strong commitment to its integration into English Studies. Our new major in Public and Professional Writing extends those commitments across the university and to workplaces, as well as to the broader public sphere. Colleagues edit the Pittsburgh Series in Composition, Literacy, and Culture, collaborate with researchers in science and engineering, and engage in digital research and pedagogy. They have taken the lead in projects such as Pitt Education in Prisons (a pedagogical project bringing together Pitt undergrads with inmates), the Writing Studies Tree (an online, crowdsourced database of academic genealogies within writing studies), a new collaborative major with Computing and Information Science in Digital Narrative and Interactive Design, and DBLAC (a digital network and learning community of Black graduate students in composition, literature, and literacies).

We will be looking for colleagues who would find these commitments, interests, and affiliations congenial and bring to the department research projects and pedagogical practices that will enrich and transform them. Applicants must hold a PhD and demonstrate a record of substantial publication with at least one monograph, evidence of excellent teaching and commitment to first-year courses, evidence of institutional and professional engagement, and evidence of how their research, teaching or service demonstrates a commitment to diversity and inclusion.

Salary for the position will be competitive and commensurate with experience. The chair comes with a generous research and programming fund. The position will begin fall semester of 2019.

In order to receive full consideration applications must be received by November 1, 2018.

Please contact Don Bialostosky, Chair of the English Department, 526 Cathedral of Learning, Pittsburgh, PA 15260, with any questions. dhb2@pitt.edu. 412-624-6509.

PWR courses, taught primarily as workshops enrolling 15 students each, total approximately 200 a year. Classes emphasize the development of each student's analytical and research-based writing, with individual classes exploring writing, rhetoric, and research across a range of thematic perspectives and disciplinary contexts. The second required course at the sophomore level includes focused attention on the study and development of oral and multimedia texts to expand students' understanding of modes of contemporary language and argument. We seek applicants with strong interests in writing pedagogy and teaching communities from a broad range of disciplinary backgrounds, including the natural sciences, engineering, and the social sciences as well as humanities and the arts.

Qualifications: Applicants should hold a terminal degree (Ph. D. preferred) and have significant teaching experience at the university level; while many PWR lecturers come from Writing Studies or a related field, we encourage applicants from all fields with a strong record of excellent teaching and strong interests in the teaching of writing and communication more generally.

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, Assistant Professor (Teaching)—to join our faculty beginning Fall 2019.

The Writing Program teaches courses that fulfill USC’s 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 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 2019. 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. Candidates should demonstrate responsiveness toward and understanding of diverse student backgrounds, especially with regard to socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, culture, ability/disability, sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity. 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 25, 2018. We will be conducting interviews at the MLA January 4 & 5, 2019, and at USC during the week of January 7-11, 2019. Applicants should submit a letter of application, diversity statement, CV, teaching evaluations, a recent course syllabus with writing assignments, and three letters from referees who can speak to teaching abilities. The referees will be contacted directly by USC. The diversity statement (300-500 words) should describe your training, experience, and/or commitment to using diversity as a pedagogical tool, as part of efforts to promote equity in the classroom and university community. In order to be considered for this position, all candidates must apply via the “Apply” button at the top of this page.
