The University Writing Program (UWP) at The George Washington University in
Washington, DC, seeks a specialist in teaching professional, technical,
workplace, or business writing, broadly construed, to join the program at
the rank of Teaching Assistant Professor (specialized, non-tenure accruing)
as early as Fall 2023. The successful candidate will bring an expertise in
social justice issues related to technical and professional communication
in developing courses and complementing the work of our diverse,
multidisciplinary faculty.

We seek a person who can contribute to our First Year Writing (academic
writing) division by regularly teaching the required four-credit,
first-year introduction to academic writing and research course (UW 1020),
as well as collaborate with our other divisions, noted below. We are
interested in course offerings that require critical engagement with issues
of social justice and DEI practices in professional, technical, workplace,
and/or business communication. Courses should incorporate best practices to
support international students, non-heritage English writers, and
multilingual and multiple-English writers.

Ph.D. or other terminal degree completed by date of appointment; Experience
and evidence of excellence teaching courses in professional, technical,
workplace, or business writing in a university setting or in a workplace or
professional setting; Some familiarity with contemporary composition and/or
rhetoric pedagogy.

GW is a major research university, serving approximately 26,000 graduate
and undergraduate students across multiple campuses in and around the
nation’s capital. The UWP is one of the largest and most active academic
units at GW, encompassing three divisions – First Year Writing, Writing in
the Disciplines, and the Writing Center. A strong candidate would be able
to contribute in all of these areas.

Specialized Faculty appointments at GW feature a competitive salary and
benefits, as well as access to promotion. In the UWP, these positions carry
teaching and service expectations, in that order of priority. The standard
teaching load is 4/3. The initial contract period will be three years, and
is renewable following a successful reappointment process.

Review of applications will begin December 5, and will continue until the
position is filled. See full description here
