*Open Rank Professor of Technical Communication & Rhetoric in Technical
Communication*



Texas Tech University’s Technical Communication & Rhetoric program in the
Department of English invites applications for an open-rank position

Preference will be given to applicants with a PhD in Technical
Communication.



Applicants with administrative experience, online teaching experience, and
a record of scholarship supported by funding are strongly encouraged to
apply. Service to the department, college, and university is expected,
including program-building as well as graduate teaching. The teaching load
is 2-2, with further teaching reductions possible for administrative or
national service. With around 120 students in our robust graduate program,
our fifteen faculty have opportunities to teach graduate courses in our
areas of interest, and we all serve on dissertation committees.



We offer the BA in Technical Communication, the MA in Technical
Communication, and the PhD in Technical Communication & Rhetoric in onsite,
hybrid, and online delivery modalities. We also offer graduate certificates
in Grants & Proposals and in Teaching Technical Communication. Our program
affords excellent facilities, including communication-rich computer
classrooms, and opportunities to conduct research through the Usability
Research Lab, the Media Lab, and the Letterpress Studio. Our university’s
strategic plan emphasizes educating and empowering a diverse student body,
enabling innovative research and creative activities, and transforming
lives and communities through outreach and engaged scholarship. Experience
working with diverse student populations and first-generation students is
highly desirable.
