<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt">About the University of Texas at El Paso
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt">The University of Texas at El Paso is a Carnegie R1 and Community Engaged research university at the heart of the U.S.-Mexico border region that is increasing access to excellent higher education. UTEP enrolls
nearly 25,000 students – 83% of whom are Hispanic and half of whom are the first generation in their families to attend college.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt">The city’s border location makes it an ideal venue for academic programs and research studies on topics of national interest such as bilingual education/language acquisition, border environment and immigration,
environmental sustainability and infrastructure, health disparities, and international trade and commerce.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt">The Paso del Norte region’s center for intellectual capital, UTEP is one of the major economic engines in the region, adding $1.4 billion to the local economy annually.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt">El Paso’s active arts and culture community features the state’s longest-running symphony orchestra, a nationally recognized chamber music festival, art galleries, museums, and a full schedule of seasonal events
and festivals. UTEP adds to the arts and entertainment scene with an award-winning dinner theater, music and dance productions, contemporary and student art galleries, and a natural history museum.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt">For sports fans, the UTEP Miners offer exciting Division I college athletics at several campus venues including Sun Bowl Stadium, the Don Haskins Center, Kidd Field, University Field and the Helen of Troy Softball
Complex. Southwest University Park, located a mile away in lively downtown El Paso, is home to the El Paso Chihuahuas, the Triple-A affiliate of the San Diego Padres, and the El Paso Locomotive, a professional soccer team founded in 2019.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt">Job Description <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt">The Department of English at The University of Texas at El Paso invites applications for a tenure-track, assistant professor position in Rhetoric and Writing Studies to begin Fall 2022. Preferred areas of expertise
include Global Rhetoric and Visual Rhetoric with priority given to applicants with experience in border, non-western, and/or cultural rhetorics, social justice approaches to research and teaching, and anti-racist pedagogy. We seek a colleague who will work
with the intellectual interests of our burgeoning population of international students in the RWS PhD program and build on the department’s traditional strengths in Borderlands Rhetoric. The successful candidate will join a Rhetoric and Writing Studies program
that, in addition to First Year Writing, includes a new Bilingual Professional Writing Certificate Program, an undergraduate Rhetoric and Writing Studies minor, a newly proposed undergraduate major in Technical Writing and User-Experience, a graduate Technical
and Professional Writing Certificate Program, as well as master’s and PhD programs in Rhetoric and Writing Studies.
