[ATTW-L] Job: TT Assistant Professor (English: Composition/Rhetoric) at Westmont College (CA)

[Sarah Skripsky]

Dear ATTW colleagues:

Since 2008, I've been teaching and directing the writing center at Westmont
College <http://www.westmont.edu>, a nationally ranked
<https://westmont.edu/about/college-profile/national-rankings> liberal arts
college in the evangelical Protestant tradition.


After a recent retirement, we are searching for *a tenure-track Assistant
Professor of English who specializes in composition/rhetoric*; the
anticipated start date is August 2024. While a PhD in hand is desirable,
applicants who are ABD or who have an MFA plus a significant publication
and teaching record will be considered. Review of applications has begun
and will continue into November 2023. Job benefits include housing
assistance.

   - For more details on our open position, go here

   to learn about Westmont's mission, then scroll down to select the
   "Assistant Professor of English: Composition/Rhetoric" tab. (We also
   have an open position for an Americanist, so be sure to select the desired
   tab.)

Our English department is collegial and includes 5 other full-time,
tenure-track faculty members as well as part-time faculty who contribute to
our minors in Ethnic Studies, Environmental Studies, Film Studies, Gender
Studies, Global Studies, and Writing.


Westmont's hillside campus overlooks coastal Santa Barbara, California
<https://santabarbaraca.gov/>, which is stunningly beautiful. We enjoy a
lively arts scene, including UC Santa Barbara's world-class Arts & Events
series <https://artsandlectures.ucsb.edu/>. Our local airport
<https://flysba.santabarbaraca.gov/fly-sba> is serviced by 5 major
airlines, and Amtrak offers southbound access to Los Angeles and San Diego
and northbound access to San Jose and the San Francisco Bay area.

Kindly forward this information to other composition/rhetoric professionals
who may be interested in applying. As the search chair, I am glad to answer
questions.

Gratefully,

Sarah Skripsky
