We are looking for candidates who will teach and develop undergraduate and graduate courses in workplace writing (e.g., technical, professional, business, and healthcare communication). In addition to a B.A. in English, our program offers an online M.A./M.S. in English and two graduate certificates, one of which is in English professional studies. This is a 9-month, tenure-track position with a standard load of 4/4 with optional summer teaching. Both onsite and online teaching are expected.

We desire candidates who have demonstrated success in the writing classroom and are able to teach writing-intensive courses that complement or strengthen our undergraduate and online graduate programs. ABD candidates will be considered if the degree will be conferred by August 2023.
