The Columbia University Undergraduate Writing Program in the Department of English and Comparative Literature invites applications for lecturer in discipline to begin in July 2012.
Lecturers will teach first-year writing and provide leadership as we develop new theme-based writing courses in collaboration with Columbia's faculty from its many interdisciplinary programs. Initial term of appointment is one year with the possibility of renewal for a second year contingent on satisfactory performance.
Applications from candidates in interdisciplinary fields of the humanities, social sciences and the natural sciences and from candidates with TESOL certification and expertise in teaching writing to English Language Learners are welcome. Candidates in the areas of gender studies, sustainability development and American Studies who can demonstrate excellence in teaching and writing in these areas are especially welcome.
Lecturers teach two sections (no more than 14 students each) of first-year writing each semester, and mentor current graduate student instructors and support teachers' professional development in workshops, conferences, and class observations. UWP Lecturers act as liaisons as we revise, update, and pilot new courses. They also provide editorial support for our program's internal publications, assessment materials, and undergraduate journal of student writing.
The Undergraduate Writing Program is located in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Information about the UWP and the first-year writing course is available at www.college.columbia.edu/core/uwp. Information about Columbia's interdisciplinary centers and institutes can be found at www.columbia.edu/content/centers-institutes.html.
Applicants should apply to academicjobs.columbia.edu/applicants/Central?quickFind=56163 and submit a cover letter directed to Dr. Nicole B. Wallack, Director, Undergraduate Writing Program. A complete application will comprise a cover letter, a statement of teaching philosophy, a c.v., a writing sample of no more than 20 pages, a syllabus from a recent writing course, and a sample of strong student writing from that course. Candidates for the ELL Lectureship position should clearly identify themselves in their cover letters.
Eligibility: To be considered for a UWP lectureship, applicants must have fulfilled the requirements of their terminal graduate degree by July 1st, 2012. Two years of teaching writing at the college level is also required. Applicants for the English Language Learners position must be certified in TESOL and have experience teaching dedicated courses in academic writing for ELL and ESL populations.
Preferred qualifications: A PhD is preferred, however, a candidate with another terminal graduate degree and exceptional experience will receive full consideration. Ideal candidates will also demonstrate experience with writing program development and evidence of leadership within a writing program.
Deadline for applications is May 10, 2012
