Detailed Job Description
The University Writing Program (UWP) at the Rochester Institute of Technology invites applications for a full-time lecturer position in Rhetoric and Writing (Composition) to begin August 2023. This is a renewable position, with a 4/4 teaching load. Competitive salary with full-time benefits. Two positions will be filled with this job positing.



Department/College Description
THE PROGRAM/DEPARTMENT:

The University Writing Program (UWP) is designed to both teach and support students as they write in various phases of their RIT career, from the first year on into graduate studies. Nearly all freshmen who enter RIT must take first-year writing, which means instructors interact with a wide range of students with different interests, backgrounds, and abilities. All UWP courses teach students that effective writing is a recursive process influenced by individual learning styles, social context, purpose, feedback, technology, and audience. The program offers direct and online instruction, in English (and in ASL via the National Technical Institute for the Deaf), as well as one-on one writing professional and peer consultation in the Writing Center. The UWP is strongly committed to shared faculty governance, and faculty members are highly involved in continuing to shape the program through committee work, curricular initiatives, and democratic decision-making.

We are particularly interested in applications from candidates who, in addition to teaching first-year writing, have experience teaching in a variety of undergraduate writing courses (e.g., basic writing, technical writing, advanced composition), and the ability to contribute in meaningful ways to RIT’s commitment to cultural diversity, pluralism, and individual differences. The ideal candidate will also have the ability and interest in contributing to a community committed to student-centeredness; professional development; integrity, accountability, and ethics; innovation and flexibility; and teamwork and collaboration. Applicants who have experience working with undergraduate and/or graduate students in writing centers or writing labs are also strongly encouraged to apply. Select to view links to RIT’s core values, honor code, and statement of diversity.

Through creativity and innovation, and an intentional blending of technology, the arts and design, we provide exceptional individuals with a wide range of academic opportunities, including a leading research program and an internationally recognized education for deaf and hard-of-hearing students. We are dedicated to building a diverse community, one where employees feel a sense of belonging, and are valued for their contributions and the perspectives they bring.
