[ATTW-L] Job Posting: Assistant Professor of Composition, University of Nebraska at Kearney

Tue Feb 25 16:16:38 UTC 2020

Hi everyone,

My department is hiring a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Comp/Rhet, with a preferred secondary specialization in technical writing. I've copied the job posting<https://unk.peopleadmin.com/postings/3330> below. I should note that, although the teaching load is listed as 12 credits per semester, the English department gets a course release for our high research output, so the teaching load is essentially 3/3. I'd be happy to answer any questions!
