[ATTW-L] Job Ad: Brittain Postdoctoral Fellowships at Georgia Tech - August 1 Start

Tue Jan 10 17:39:05 UTC 2023

Dear colleagues,

I'm excited to share the job ad for the Marion L. Brittain Postdoctoral
Fellowship, with multiple positions starting August 1, 2023—please see
below. This three-year fellowship includes service, research, and a 3/3
teaching assignment in first-year composition or business/technical
communication. Within programmatic outcomes related to rhetoric, process,
and multimodality, Fellows integrate their own research interests into the
courses they teach.

In addition to full faculty benefits, including health insurance,
retirement, and research support, Brittain Fellows receive preparation in
and support for further development of multimodal pedagogy via the Digital
Pedagogy Postdoctoral Seminar. Brittain Fellows also benefit from other
support activities and services, including the postdoctoral seminar in
technical communication and job market support for both academic and
nonacademic positions.

Winner of the 2021-22 CCCC Writing Program Certificate of Excellence, the 2020
Georgia Tech Diversity Champion Award, and the 2021 Regents’ Teaching
Excellence Award, we are committed to providing inclusive teaching for a
diverse student body. We strongly encourage individuals from Black,
Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, and Pacific Islander communities; individuals
from the LGBTQIA+ community; and individuals born outside the US to apply.

program philosophy, and current Fellow profiles can be found at
