Most of the faculty have earned doctoral degrees from prestigious universities across the nation.

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 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.

Emory University Oxford College (GA) - TT Open Rank - Director of Writing Programs
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.

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
 * the role of institutions in the delivery of justice and equity, and
 * the cultural production that has been shaped by these issues.

All three courses in the lower-division DOC (Diversity, Justice, and Imagination) sequence provide undergraduate students with a critical language that allows them to analyze social problems in an intelligent and grounded fashion. In addition to attending core curriculum faculty lectures, students will participate in small discussion sections led by graduate student Teaching Assistants.

Details about the program may be found at: http://marshall.ucsd.edu/doc/index.html

The Dimensions of Culture Writing Program Director will be an academic leader who, in addition to teaching in the program, will contribute to its design and help define its pedagogical vision. The Director will take the leadership role, in collaboration with the College Provost and the College Writing Advisory Committee, in curricular design; successfully recruit, train, and supervise graduate teaching assistants and lecturers; monitor and assess the program's effectiveness and learning outcomes; supervise a small staff; collaborate with the directors of the other colleges' writing programs on campus-wide writing initiatives; and participate as a member of the senior staff of Marshall College in coordinating academic activities and setting goals for the college. The Director will be able to propose courses to teach in Summer Session, which provides additional income.

Required Qualifications- The successful applicant should have:
 * A Ph.D. in American Studies, Literature with a U.S. focus, History with a U.S. focus, and related fields. Ideal candidates will also have experience in teaching critical reading and writing skills to undergraduate students.
 * A record of distinguished teaching in a U.S.-related research area with expertise in teaching college-level reading and writing
 * Strong demonstrated accomplishments in areas contributing to diversity, equity and inclusion, and a desire to play a leadership role in advancing UC San Diego's commitment to achieving excellence and diversity

Preferred Qualification: Experience administering a college writing program or comparable program that utilizes American Studies materials.

Salary: Salary commensurate with experience and based on published University of California pay scales.

Applications should be submitted to the UCSD on-line application collection system, AP-On-Line Recruit, at: http://apptrkr.com/887419. In order to be considered, applicants are to submit a cover letter, CV, teaching statement, 3 reference letters and a separate statement describing past experience in activities that promote diversity and inclusion and/or plans to make future contributions (For further information about contributions to diversity statements, see http://facultyexcellence.ucsd.edu/c2d/).


 * Teaching evaluations may be requested if the candidate is selected for an interview

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.

University of Southern California (CA) - Teaching Track Faculty Positions in Writing Program (fixed-term - renewable)
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.
