*POSITION DESCRIPTION*

A new and exciting position is available for a person with a Ph.D. in
Professional or Technical Communication. Housed at the intersection of the
College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the College of Science and
Mathematics, this position is ideally suited for someone who writes in the
field  of science, medicine, and/or health, with additional specializations
in health disparities/social determinants of health, social justice,
usability, artificial technology (AI), disability, multilingualism, mental
health, health literacy, or STEM education. This position is part of a new
initiative to foster cross college and cross discipline collaboration.
Qualified candidates will have established publication records, a history
of grant acquisition, and evidence of successful interdisciplinary
collaboration with colleagues in science and medicine. Candidates should
demonstrate evidence of success in interdisciplinary curriculum
development, community engagement, student mentoring, and program
administration. As a joint appointment, the successful candidate will share
time between Writing Studies, including instruction in the undergraduate
Public and Professional Writing major/minor, and the College of Science and
Mathematics, including curricular development and professional development
initiatives to support faculty, staff, and students. The ideal candidate
will be able to work independently and have latitude to forge
relationships, innovate existing strengths and capacities, and engage in
projects that benefit both schools.
