Full-time Continuing Lecturer Position in Writing & Rhetoric

The Department of English at Simon Fraser University invites
applications for an entry-level, full-time, continuing teaching
faculty position at the rank of Lecturer beginning as early as July
15, 2021. Qualifications for this position include a Ph.D. in English
completed by or shortly after the appointment start date, with a
preference for a Ph.D. in Composition and Rhetoric or a related field.

SFU is a university located on the unceded traditional territories of
the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Kwikwetlem
(kʷikʷəƛəm), and Səlil̓wətaɬ (Tsleil-Watuth) nations that serves
students of diverse ethnic, cultural, linguistic, and national
origins. By recognizing the unceded traditional Coast Salish
territories, we aspire to foster and honour Indigenous resurgence as
well as a plurality of decolonizing and anti-racist practices.

We invite applicants with a background in Writing Studies and
interests that might include, but are not limited to: language
standardization and exclusion, linguistic diversity, post-colonial and
world Englishes, language ideologies in the writing classroom,
minority rhetorics and literacy practices, Indigenous perspectives on
rhetoric, and linguistic racism. Candidates with demonstrable
interests in the relationships among language and identity, rhetoric
and race, writing and intersectionality, and/or pedagogy and
decolonization are strongly urged to apply. Experience in any of the
following areas is a plus: professional writing, technology and
writing, applied linguistics, rhetorical theory, second language
writing.

The successful candidate will be expected to teach "Writing to
Persuade" (English 199), the Department's introduction to reading and
writing from a rhetorical perspective. In addition to English 199, the
candidate will develop and teach lower- and upper-division
undergraduate courses. They will bring expertise in innovative
approaches to teaching both in-person and online that support and
enhance student learning and success. Those courses may cover a broad
range of topics commensurate with the candidate's particular area(s)
of focus.

The candidate will join a department committed to a vibrant culture of
research and teaching. The SFU English department boasts 26
accomplished faculty, over 500 undergraduate majors and minors, and
over 60 M.A. and Ph.D. students working in all areas of English
studies, with notable strengths in print culture; contemporary
Canadian, Indigenous, and diasporic literatures; creative writing; and
the digital humanities. We offer classes on three campuses in the
metropolitan Vancouver area, as well as comprehensive distance
education courses, joint majors, and opportunities for cooperative
education.

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians
and permanent residents will be given priority. SFU is an equity
employer and encourages applications from all qualified individuals
including women, persons with disabilities, visible minorities,
Indigenous Peoples, people of all sexual orientations and gender
identities, and others who may contribute to the further
diversification of the university.

Applications should be sent to Dr. Carolyn Lesjak, Chair, Department
of English, at englsec at sfu.ca. Please submit 1) a letter including
research and teaching interests, 2) a detailed curriculum vitae, 3)
relevant course syllabi, 4) a relevant 15-25 page writing sample, 5)

starting April 19, 2021, and will continue until the position is
filled.
