POSITION DESCRIPTION

The Writing Program at the University of California, Santa Barbara is
seeking a Lecturer with Potential Security of Employment (LPSOE) effective
July 1, 2023. This is an Academic Senate, tenure-track position in the
Teaching Professor series (Assistant Teaching Professor). The Teaching
Professor series is evaluated primarily for teaching excellence, with
expectations for service and professional activity. The Program is
especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and
excellence of the academic community through teaching, service, and
research.

Successful applicants will join a thriving independent writing program in a
research university committed to undergraduate education. UC Santa Barbara
has been ranked as one of the top 25 research universities in the world and
includes nationally- and internationally recognized programs in the
humanities, sciences, and engineering. UC Santa Barbara is a multiple
Minority Serving Institution (HSI and AANAPISI). Located in California’s
Central Coast, UC Santa Barbara provides high-quality education in a
beautiful setting.

We are particularly interested in candidates who specialize in first-year
writing, technical and professional writing, digital and online writing
pedagogies, and/or assessment, and who could contribute to Program and
campus initiatives in these areas. In addition, a particular specialization
in genre studies or in empirical studies related to knowledge transfer in
writing courses could be useful as we regularly revise our first-year
writing courses (Writing 1 and Writing 2) to have a theoretical base
drawing on current research in the field. The Writing Program also offers a
writing minor with six emphases in different areas of professional writing.

The selected candidate will teach a normal LPSOE Writing Program course
load of 7 courses every year (over three quarters), likely comprised of
lower-division courses such as Writing 1 and 2, along with upper-division
courses related to the candidate’s area of expertise. The selected
candidate would be expected to serve on and lead committees and to remain
active in areas of professional development, such as publishing and
attending conferences. In the future, the selected candidate would be
expected to rotate in as the Director of the Writing Program. We seek a
candidate who will become an active member of the Writing Program and of
the campus community at large.
