We have established writing programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels and we seek a scholar and teacher eager to help us expand our programs. The Department of English offers an undergraduate minor and concentration along with an M.A. in Professional
Writing & Editing. We are interested in a candidate who can enhance our focus on professional/technical writing, editing, multimedia composition, and/or rhetorical theory. As a research faculty member, this candidate will also contribute to our graduate-level
focus on rhetorical theory. The teaching load is 2–2 with teaching opportunities at the graduate and undergraduate levels. We require a doctoral degree in technical and professional communication or related field in hand by August 15, 2019; strong evidence
of a productive research agenda; demonstrated potential for teaching excellence at the undergraduate and graduate levels; and an ability to teach with technology. Candidates also will be evaluated in terms of their interest in grant writing and/or interdisciplinary
work.</font></span></font></div>
