Council of Writing Program Administrators

The Department of Writing is seeking to fill several full-time, non-tenure-line positions in Composition and Writing. Our Visiting Faculty teach 11 or 12 credits per semester (depending on course credits this could work out as either a 3/3 or 3/4 load), mainly first-year or junior-level writing. In addition, we have a particular need for teachers of professional writing courses, including Business Communication and Introduction to Professional Writing as well as someone to teach Creative Non-fiction.

This position is designed for recent PhDs or MFAs planning to seek permanent positions elsewhere. In order to help our Visiting Faculty in their continuing job searches, we provide mentoring, research support, and teaching reviews, and we help pay expenses for those interviewing at the annual MLA convention. Applicants are encouraged to review the department website for details about our curriculum.
