Qualifications: MA (PhD preferred) in one of the following fields:
composition studies, rhetoric and composition, digital rhetoric, second-language writing/ESL/applied linguistics, or other closely related fields.

Assistant or Associate Teaching Professor (Rhetoric/Composition, Second Language Writing)

DESCRIPTION OF POSTION: The Department of English at Carnegie Mellon invites applications for a full-time (9-month), position as Assistant or Associate Teaching Professor at Carnegie Mellon's Qatar campus beginning in Fall 2013.

Carnegie Mellon's Qatar campus is a highly selective branch campus of Carnegie Mellon University and has served a diverse student body since 2004. We offer undergraduate majors in Biological Sciences, Business Administration, Computational Biology, Computer Science, and Information Systems. Current enrollment is approximately 350 students representing 39 countries. Approximately 40% of the students are Qatari. All classes are coeducational, with 52% female students.

A 2/2 teaching load will include courses within the First-year Writing Program as well as an occasional upper-level course that would appeal to students as a General Education elective; a Professional Writing minor or English Studies minor requirement or elective; or meet a writing/communications requirement in a major. The course would typically relate to the faculty member's area of specialization.

APPOINTMENT AND RANK:  Assistant or Associate Teaching Professor is a nontenure-track faculty career position with provision for renewal and promotion to Associate Teaching and Full Teaching Professor. Full Teaching Professors must fulfill two criteria: (1) to be outstanding educators within Carnegie Mellon, for example, through excellence in classroom teaching, curricular development, program leadership, and student advising and mentoring; and (2) to be nationally or internationally known for contributions to education or to research.  Assistant and Associate Teaching faculty must demonstrate that they will, in due course, fulfill these criteria. Salary is competitive.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS: Requirements include a PhD in Rhetoric/Composition, Professional/Technical Writing, Second Language Writing, Second Language Studies, or related field.  Knowledge and experience related to teaching writing is also required.

DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS: We desire a candidate with knowledge related to teaching English in transnational contexts. We also desire candidates with research agendas that demonstrate synergies between their scholarship, pedagogy, and professional development that are relevant to the Carnegie Mellon Qatar campus. Such synergies might include, but are not limited to, studies of professional and technical writing contexts, especially global and/or multilingual; writing in the disciplines, especially science and engineering; rhetoric of science; and new media, especially web design and social media. We are open to social science as well as humanities methodologies.

The university is especially interested in qualified candidates who can contribute, through their research, teaching, and/or service, to the diversity and excellence of the academic community. We strongly encourage applications from female and minority candidates.

Application Procedure: Applications will be accepted online through Interfolio.

Job Opening: Indiana University of Pennsylvania

Indiana University of Pennsylvania

Assistant Professor of English Education

Assistant or Associate Professor of Applied Linguistics

We will have three openings for next year, one in English education at the assistant professor rank.  The candidate will be teaching in a thriving undergraduate and graduate English education program that employs nearly 100% of graduates.

Two in applied linguistics at either assistant or associate rank.

Both positions are to be filled for fall 2013.  The applied linguists will be working in a doctoral program in Composition and TESOL.  I think the program name will be changing to Composition and Applied Linguistics shortly to reflect a fundamental change in our orientation back toward applied linguistics while maintaining the emphasis on composition and TESOL scholar researchers for doctoral students..  Set up originally as Rhetoric and Linguistics in 1971, the program is the oldest composition program.

We are looking to find good teachers who have a research agenda for the future, either assistant or associate.

The Pennsylvania Department of Education has recently approved an endorsement for K-12 teachers in TESOL.  The new candidates in both programs will be involved in the final stages of approval for that program.  We would especially like to entertain applications for applied linguists with a teacher education background who have had experience in the schools.  However that experience is not necessary to be a successful applicant.

Three candidates for each of the  positions will be invited to campus for interviews to include a teaching demonstration and presentation on their research.

All applicants should be willing to teach first year writing as part of their teaching, since departmental faculty all teach in the English Liberal Studies Progam.

If you have any questions, please contact  Dr. Tina Perdue, Search Chair at Perdue@iup.edu.  All application materials should be submitted electronically through the website listed in the advertisements.

The postings can be found at: http://www.iup.edu/page.aspx?id=10005

A Second Language Writing Specialist on Every Campus

Every rhetoric and composition Ph.D. program should have at least one faculty member who specializes in second language writing. Every institution of higher education should have at least one second language writing specialist.

Yes, at least one specialist. The rest of the faculty can specialize in other things but should also know enough about aspects of second language writing that pertain to their areas of specialization. And a 100% of writing teachers should be prepared to work with second language writers.

The successful candidate must have expertise primarily in qualitative research with additional experience in mixed-methods research desirable. Preference will be given to candidates whose research is in the area of L2 pragmatics, discourse analysis, classroom-based research, language socialization and/or child L2 learning.  Experience with the use of technology as a means of knowledge dissemination in both research and pedagogy is highly desired. The SLS program itself is located in the College of Arts and Letters and is part of a vibrant language community that has benefitted from university support evidenced by the newly established Center for Language Teaching Advancement (CeLTA [celta.msu.edu]), an expanding Less Commonly Taught Language programs, a nationally-funded Language Resource Center (clear.msu.edu), and world-renowned study abroad initiatives.

CFP: Writing Research Across Borders III

Call for proposals

International Conference on Writing Research

Writing Research Across Borders III

Feb 2014 - Paris (France)

http://conference2014.fr

Proposal Deadline: April 1, 2013

Following on the writing research conferences in 2008 at the University of California Santa Barbara, and in 2011 at George Mason University in Washington DC, the next conference on writing research across borders will be held in Paris, France, in February, 2014, under the auspices of the newly formed International Society for the Advancement of Writing Research (ISAWR).

The University of Paris-Ouest Nanterre la Défense will host this major scientific event. The conference, which will be held for the first time in Europe, will offer the opportunity for encounters among different writing research traditions. This Conference brings together the many writing researchers from around the world, drawing on all disciplines, and focused on all aspects of writing at all levels of development and in all segments of society. This conference will be not only an event allowing for dissemination of knowledge established by writing research, but also a space to promote encounters among different approaches to writing, and among different writing research communities. New projects and new collaborations will flourish.

Several key questions will be at the heart of the debates and discussions: what does it mean to write in the 21st century? In these times of multimedia technologies and globalization, in an era where the frontiers are blurring between the intimate and the social, between the private and the professional, what does Writing now mean? How might we respond to major societal challenges and face inequalities in access to writing? Are our currently-available research methodologies and tools up to the task of helping us to better understand what writing is, its functionalities, how it is acquired, its role in personal development, its history?

We invite you to contribute to this communal reflection by proposing a presentation to the conference. Four types of

presentation are planned:

• Individual 30-minutes presentations followed by ten minutes of Q+A.

• Symposia featuring several scholars working on related questions (duration: 2 hours). These symposia can take two shapes: team symposia and symposia bringing together several scholars from different teams or countries. This second type of symposium is strongly encouraged because it will make best use of the conference by making it the site of intellectual exchange and collective work.

• Roundtables focused on debates and commonalities (duration: 2 hours). The author of the proposal provides the theme and the topics that will be discussed during the roundtable.

• Poster presentations of work in progress. 

Presentations can be grounded in quite diverse fields: linguistics, psycholinguistics, psychology, didactics, sociology, rhetoric, historical studies, ethnography, anthropology, or any other disciplinary tradition. Presentations can be in French or English. Presentation abstracts will be published in both languages.

Abstract submission

Abstracts can be in English or French.

Proposal for individual and poster presentations should be from 250 to 500 words in length and panel and roundtable proposals, 500 to 1000 words.

Abstracts should indicate the area of research and give clear indication of the data or the corpus under investigation, the method used and a few results. Proposals should and identify clearly the relevant literatures to be considered, and provide overviews of and reflections on research traditions will be appreciated.

Each proposal will be examined anonymously by the scientific committee. Names of author(s) should not be given in the abstract.

Abstracts should be sent as electronic files to the following address: http://conference2014.fr

Calendar

Proposal submission deadline April 1, 2013

Return of paper acceptance June 2013

Conference February 2014 (the precise dates will be indicated soon)
