Please share with those who are seeking an opportunity to teach and mentor new tech comm professionals.


The Department of Technical Communication at the University of North Texas (UNT) continues to expand. We invite applications for two full-time lecturers to begin in fall of 2018. Both individuals will teach courses in the university core, as well as upper-division undergraduate courses for tech comm majors, and both will also be responsible for service to the department. Service activities will focus on one of three areas: (1) our student recruitment efforts in the DFW area, (2) academic advising for our current undergraduate majors, or (3) communication with our stakeholders (e.g., alumni newsletters, press releases, etc.).


Both positions will be hired on a renewable contract with full state benefits and other perks (e.g., tuition/fee waivers for the employee and dependents).

Minimum Qualifications:

  *   Industry experience as a technical communicator
  *   Master's degree with a concentration or specialization in technical communication or a related field

Preferred Qualifications:

  *   Experience teaching technical communication, preferably in face-to-face and higher education settings

The Location:

The Department of Technical Communication at UNT is one of a handful of stand-alone departments of technical communication in the world. We have an active advisory board filled with industry professionals, and our courses focus on client projects that provide students with industry experience. In eight years, with ongoing investments from the university, our programs and profile have grown significantly and will continue to do so. Learn more at techcomm.unt.edu<http://techcomm.unt.edu/>.

Established in 1890, UNT is the nation’s 25th largest public university with 37,000 students. Students come from 50 states and 133 countries to pursue the 99 bachelor, 83 master, and 36 doctoral degree programs. The vibrant, quirky campus hosts thousands of concerts, theatre performances, and art exhibitions every year, many in our world-class Murchison Performing Arts Center. UNT’s 16 Division I teams compete as part of Conference USA in facilities that include Apogee Stadium, the first stadium to achieve LEED Platinum certification. Alumni include Don Henley, Norah Jones, Bill Moyers, Anne Rice, and Larry McMurtry.

UNT is located in Denton, a college city of 130,000 people that is part of the 7 million person Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, home of the sixth largest population of technical communicators among US metro areas. Located only 30 minutes from DFW International airport, Denton has been recognized as one of the best music scenes in the country, one of the ten fastest growing cities in the United States, one of “the best small towns in America,” and as a “Best Place to Live.” Denton also has a vibrant downtown square, which is now the hub for the city’s thriving start-up scene, which was identified as one of the top 25 High Tech Hotspots in the United States.
