The Thompson Writing Program at Duke is looking for lecturing fellows:
Lecturing Fellows, Thompson Writing Program, Duke University
We anticipate offering several postdoctoral fellowships on a multidisciplinary faculty charged with teaching an innovative first-year course in Academic Writing. We seek candidates with a PhD in any field and a demonstrated commitment to undergraduate teaching.
Fellows are asked to draw on their disciplinary training and interests to design a seminar-style course introducing students to academic writing. Teaching load is five sections of Academic Writing per year, with each section limited to 12 students.
Appointment is at a level of Lecturing Fellow (non-tenure-track) starting July 1, 2012. Contract is for an initial three years, renewable after successful review for two more years. Salary is competitive with a strong benefits package, and with opportunities for professional development.
To apply use our online application form at http://twp.duke.edu/fellowships. Send us your curriculum vitae, a letter in which you discuss your aims in teaching Academic Writing, a brief proposal for a writing seminar modeled on course synopses posted on our website at http://twp.duke.edu/writing-20.
We may subsequently ask you to provide other supporting materials, including a more detailed course outline, and teaching materials. If you are unable to apply online, you may mail hard copies to
