Job Details

We are proud to be a highly inclusive space for students to gain a postsecondary education in the liberal arts, sciences, and applied fields. Located within the broader tri-state cultural region of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Northwest Massachusetts, our beautiful southern Vermont campus is also within easy driving distance to several major cities like Boston and New York. If you aspire to teach in your field while making a difference in the lives of neurodiverse students, Landmark is the right place for you.
We seek an assistant professor of writing who is dedicated to the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion. The successful candidate will be able to teach a range of required composition courses and will hold specific interest and expertise in "writing about writing" pedagogies and working with neurodiverse learners. Expertise in assessment, multi -media composition, digital and information literacies, and writing across the curriculum would be valuable.
All assistant professors are expected to be active community members in service to their students, departments, Schools, and the College; to engage in schola rly work involving undergraduates in their fields or in the scholarship of teaching and learning; and to continue to pursue professional development in both their discipline and in teaching/learning.

A working understanding of the nature of specific learning disabilities and teaching experience at the college level are also highly desirable.
Interested individuals should provide a cover letter, resume or CV, and the names of three work references. Electronic submissions are preferred. Please email your application to humanresources@landmark.edu.
Diversifying the student body, faculty, and administration is congruent with our mission. We value diverse populations and cultures including, but not limited to, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, national origin, neurodiversity, race, and religion. Landmark College is an EO/AA/Vet/Disability employer.
Company
While many colleges offer special programs for students with learning disabilities (LD) and other learning challenges, Landmark College is one of the only accredited colleges in the United States designed exclusively for students who learn differently, including students with learning disabilities (such as dyslexia), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and autism.
Landmark College’s mission is to transform the way students learn, educators teach, and the public thinks about education. We provide highly accessible approaches to learning that empower individuals who learn differently to exceed their aspirations and to achieve their greatest potential. Through the Landmark College Institute for Research and Training, the College aims to extend its mission across the nation and throughout the world.
Students at Landmark College get far more personal, directed assistance than at traditional colleges that often offer a grab bag of accommodations for students with learning disabilities, ADHD, or autism. Students at Landmark College receive individualized attention from classroom instructors—in courses tailored to meet their educational needs. This is evidenced by our exceptionally low student/faculty ratio of 6:1. Our experienced advisors meet frequently with students to review and guide their progress. In addition to advising, a wide array of other academic support is integral to a Landmark College education, including executive function coaching, educational technology support, and the services of our centers for academic support. All instructors are trained professional educators, not teaching assistants or peer tutors.
Landmark College is located in Putney, Vermont, in the southeastern part of the state. The campus is two and a half hours from Boston and four hours from New York. Southern Vermont also has a great deal to offer. Within half an hour of campus, faculty, staff and students can find amenities more often associated with an urban environment, including movie theaters, shops, restaurants, live music, art, and theater. Members of the campus community who love the outdoors will find world-class skiing, snowboarding, hiking, kayaking, and mountain biking just minutes from campus.
Our Office of Human Resources strives to ensure that we are an employer of choice, attracting and retaining uniquely talented individuals able to advance the College’s position as the college of choice for students who learn differently. We are committed to a philosophy that recognizes each person as an individual, worthy of respect, trust, dignity and fair treatment, and we apply these tenets to serve, support, and value all members of our community.
