[ATTW-L] Job Posting: Asst. Prof. of English in Digital Cultural Rhetorics, Univ. of Maryland

[Scott Andrew Wible]

The English Department of the University of Maryland, College Park, invites
applications for a tenure-track assistant professor in Rhetoric and
Composition with a specialization in Digital Cultural Rhetorics, which
includes the examination of how cultural identities—such as race,
ethnicity, disability, or sexuality—shape digital texts, performances, and
networks and/or how technology, software, social media, and geopolitical
contexts influence representations and experiences of people from
historically marginalized communities.

Diversity, inclusion, equity, and access drive the mission of the English
Department, and we seek candidates whose research, teaching, and service
have prepared them to contribute to and advance this mission. Within their
applications, candidates are asked to summarize their leadership efforts
and past or potential contributions to diversity; contributions might
include leadership in teaching, mentoring, research, or service towards
building an equitable and diverse scholarly environment and/or increasing
access or participation of individuals from historically underrepresented
groups.

The University of Maryland is located in College Park, eight miles from the
heart of Washington, DC, offering its faculty access to world-class library
and archival facilities, an array of cultural institutions, and culturally
and linguistically diverse communities.

The successful candidate must have a Ph.D. in Rhetoric and Composition or a
related field by July 1, 2020. Successful candidates will be expected to
publish actively; teach two courses per semester, including courses that
contribute to the Language, Writing, and Rhetoric and Media Studies tracks
within the undergraduate English major as well as the M.A. and Ph.D.
concentrations in Writing Studies and Rhetoric; direct dissertations,
comprehensive exams, capstone projects, and honors theses; and offer
service to the Department, the College, and the University. For advanced
assistant professor applicants, WPA experience is welcomed. Upon earning
tenure, the person hired for this position would join the rotation of
Language, Writing, and Rhetoric faculty who serve in fixed terms as
administrators of the Academic Writing Program, Professional Writing
Program, and/or Writing Center, which collectively serve over 7,000
students in writing classes and over 4,000 students in tutoring sessions
each semester and were honored by the Conference on College Composition and
Communication with the 2017 Writing Program Certificate of Excellence.

For best consideration, candidates should apply by October 21, 2019.
