English and Humanities Department at York College of Pennsylvania
invites
applications for two tenure-track, assistant professor positions in
Rhetoric
and Composition to begin August, 2008. The successful candidates will
have the opportunity to contribute to both a growing major in
Professional
Writing and to a recently revised, two-semester first-year writing
sequence.
While a range of teaching and research interests and experiences is
welcome, we especially seek candidates with expertise in technologies
associated with the teaching of writing, English education, and /or
technical
writing. Candidates with an interest in technology and technical
writing

the Web
and to develop new courses in areas such as technical writing, document
design,
and publication management. Candidates with an interest in English
education will have the opportunity to contribute to our Secondary
Education
English major, to work with students in our Writing Fellows Program, to
develop
new courses in writing pedagogy, and to teach existing courses such as
Teaching
and Tutoring of Writing. Courses in both the Professional Writing
major
and the first-year writing sequence are taught in a new,
state-of-the-art
building that contains a networked writing lab and production studio.
