[ATTW-L] Tenure-track position in tech comm and professional writing

[Zhou, Quan]

Dear colleagues,

Metropolitan State University, Minnesota’s public, urban university, is seeking to hire an Assistant Professor in Technical Communication and Professional Writing, with a scholarship/focus area in equity, diversity, and inclusion. This is a full-time, probationary position within the Department of Technical Communication and Interaction Design and is expected to start August 16, 2021.

In addition to our general area of equity, diversity, and inclusion, we are interested in candidates who have one or more of the following areas of expertise:

o medical writing, ranging from public health writing to writing in a regulatory environment; o workplace-focused ELearning/online training/learner experience design;
o accessibility;

We are highly interested in candidates who possess or explore pedagogical approaches that integrate anti-racism and cultural responsiveness. The conceptualization of this position had been in the works for a while, during which Minneapolis became the focal point of the nation’s call for social justice this last spring. We are proud to engage in and will firmly continue with the meaningful work that can help transform our society at the intersection of technical communication/professional writing and equity/diversity/inclusion.

This search will be conducted using web-conferencing technology. I’ve attached the position announcement. Please share with your graduate students and other potential candidates. As the search committee chair, I’d be glad to answer questions by email.


Sincerely,

Quan Zhou, Ph.D.
