[Cindy Chinelly]

The Writing and Rhetoric Program in the Department of English invites exceptionally qualified candidates for two non-tenure track faculty positions at the level of Instructor. We are seeking candidates whose teaching, research, and/or graduate course work positions them to excel in one or more of the following areas: teaching first-year composition to multilingual students, teaching technical and/or scientific writing to multilingual students, teaching online, and teaching courses in rhetorical and writing theory. These 9 month appointments carry a 4/4 teaching load and are eligible for promotion. Job duties include teaching writing and rhetoric courses and completing Program service. These positions are renewable, contingent upon budget, and offer a competitive salary and benefits package, a conference travel stipend, along with a promotion ladder. Additional compensation for summer teaching may also be available.
Our growing and energetic Program seeks colleagues with strong professional backgrounds in the field of rhetoric and composition and a commitment to excellence in teaching. New faculty will have the opportunity to contribute to our new major in Writing and Rhetoric and to our Certificate in Professional and Public Writing, as well as to our core curriculum writing program that serves 8,000 students a year. Candidates should hold an MA in Rhetoric and Composition or a related field. Candidates who have taken graduate-level rhetoric and composition courses and hold a record of successful composition instruction at the post-secondary level are particularly encouraged to apply. FIU, one of the nation’s largest Hispanic-serving universities, is a majority/minority university, and we actively seek to recruit diverse and multilingual candidates.
