Visiting Assistant Professor @ DePaul University

The Department of Writing, Rhetoric, and Discourse (WRD) at DePaul University invites applications for a full-time, non-tenure-track
position primarily in first-year writing instruction to begin September 2012. We particularly seek candidates with verifiable success teaching
writing to non-native English speakers. Limited opportunities to teach applied language courses at the advanced undergraduate level, in our MA
in Writing, Rhetoric, and Discourse, and in our Graduate Certificate in TESOL are available to candidates with appropriate coursework,
experience, and credentials.

This one-year contract position, which includes full benefits, is currently renewable for a maximum of six years dependent upon
performance and budget. We seek candidates with a clear commitment to undergraduate writing instruction; experience teaching writing
successfully to students of varied cultural and linguistic backgrounds; and sensitivity to the educational goals of a diverse student population.

Successful candidates will teach three courses per term (a nine-course load on the quarter system) in an active and dynamic independent writing department; attend staff development meetings; mentor part-time faculty; and participate in portfolio assessment. WRD includes contingent faculty representation in its Voting Assembly. Applicants must have at minimum an MA in rhetoric and composition or an equivalent field by September 2012. Recent coursework in rhetoric and composition pedagogy, including second language writing, is highly desirable.
