<p class="HTMLBody"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">MIT anticipates hiring a lecturer to work as a writing in the disciplines specialist in the Writing, Rhetoric, and Professional Communication program (WRAP). A thriving program
with over thirty lecturers, WRAP collaborates with faculty across MIT to provide communication instruction within communication-intensive subjects in all departments. In addition to technical knowledge, MIT graduates need to know how to analyze audiences
and attend to differences in discourse conventions, how to analyze and produce specialized genres and forms of argumentation, and how to compose, evaluate, and integrate oral, written, visual, and digital modes of communication. WRAP researches these concepts
and professional practices, develops new pedagogy, and assesses how students learn, apply, and transfer this knowledge.

<p class="HTMLBody"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">This lecturer will 1) teach communication in collaboratively-taught communication-intensive classes primarily in STEM subjects; 2) work with faculty in different disciplines
to develop pedagogy, instruction, and assignments that teach the rhetorical principles of written and oral communication; 3) evaluate and respond to student communication assignments in a variety of contexts, and provide guidance to faculty and TAs for evaluating
and responding to student communication assignments. The teaching load is the equivalent of three classes per term. This position is a temporary, one-year appointment with possibility for renewal. Salary is commensurate with experience, and MIT offers full
benefits for lecturers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
