    Default job background
    Description


    Teaching Professor of Public and Professional Writing (online and in-person)

    The Department of English at the University of Pittsburgh invites applications for a Teaching Professor to join its active and innovative Composition program. The person who is hired will begin on a five-year renewable contract, starting in the fall term of 2024. The teaching load is 3/3 (with both online and in-person courses), plus expected services such as administrative or committee work and advising undergraduate research. This position is undergraduate-focused and outside the tenure track, and it has paths to leadership positions as well as five-year renewable contracts.

    The Composition program-one of four constituent programs in English (Literature, Creative Writing, and Film and Media Studies)-offers an array of first-year composition courses and general education Writing courses, and a Public and Professional Writing major and certificate. PPW courses also count toward the Media and Professional Communication major, which is housed in the College of General Studies. Our courses are also integral to the Digital Narrative and Interactive Design joint major with the School of Computing and Information, the Public Communication of Science and Technology certificate, and an interdisciplinary Disability Studies Certificate. We value flexible teachers who can create engaging courses that respond to the needs of our programs and to school-wide general education requirements.

    We seek to hire a Teaching Professor who will teach intermediate and advanced Public and Professional Writing courses in both online and in-person formats: four online courses a year for students in the College of General Studies and two in-person courses for students in the Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences. The successful candidate will have significant professional experience in public relations and/or advertising, experience teaching undergraduates how to write for PR and advertising, and experience successfully designing and teaching asynchronous online writing courses. The person in this position can expect to teach Persuasive Writing in Advertising, Public Relations Writing, Professional Uses of Social Media, Written Professional Communication, and more.

    As a department that values inclusive and welcoming environments in which to work and learn, we are interested in hearing from candidates whose lived experiences would prove resourceful in mentoring students of diverse backgrounds, including students of color, LGBTQ+ students, first-generation college students, and students with disabilities.

    This line signals a commitment from the university, college, and department to support the Composition program's continued success in recruiting undergraduate majors, and certificate students, and serving the general education needs of our students. The colleague joining us through this line will join a department with strong mentorship programs in place.

    All applicants must have significant professional experience in PR and/or advertising, hold at least a Bachelor's degree in Journalism or English, demonstrate evidence of excellent teaching and a commitment to undergraduate intermediate and advanced courses; demonstrate institutional and professional engagement; and demonstrate commitment to diversity and inclusion in their teaching and service. Salary will be competitive and commensurate with experience and benefits are generous.

    Applications must include the following, submitted through the University's Talent Center portal:

    • Cover letter
    • C.V.
    • Teaching statement
    • Statement on diversity (1-2 pp.) that demonstrates your track record and/or potential contributions to diversity and inclusion through teaching and service.
    • A teaching portfolio that includes sample syllabi for two courses and at least two writing assignments or sequences (other teaching materials from these classes, such as in-class workshops, are welcome)
    • Student surveys for three classes
    • Three confidential letters of recommendation from individuals familiar with the candidate's teaching submitted to
