Lecturer II/Teaching Assistant Professor (Core Writing)
University of Nevada, Reno
| The Department of English and the Core Writing Program at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) invites applicants for two Lecturer II/Teaching Assistant Professor positions in rhetoric and composition to begin July 1, 2021. These are non-tenure-track, continuing positions in which faculty are eligible for promotion and in which the predominant responsibility is teaching. We are seeking candidates with knowledge and experience in teaching developmental writers. These positions will play a key role supporting our co-requisite model, which pairs a credit-bearing first-year writing course with reading and writing support labs run out of our University Writing and Speaking Center. The Core Writing Program takes a rhetorical approach to writing and communicating, meaning that it emphasizes writing in-context, for specific purposes and audiences. In addition, it is part of a university-wide Writing and Speaking Initiative designed to ensure that UNR students graduate with strong writing and presentation skills. These positions carry a 4/4 teaching load, with options for course reduction for academic advisement, training, assessment, and other administrative duties. There are also regular opportunities for off-term teaching for additional compensation. Our class sizes are small (15-19 students). For more information on the Core Writing Program, please visit our website. Core Writing Lecturer Statement The University of Nevada, Reno reserves the right to hire at any level of Lecturer (I-IV) or Teaching Assistant/Associate/Professor (terminal degree candidates) that is appropriate for the hire.? If you have questions about title, please inquire during the interview process.
