The Writing Program at Emory University, housed in the College of Arts and Sciences and the English Department, is accepting applications from recent PhD graduates (no more than three years out from conferral of degree) with an interest in expanding their portfolios to include the teaching of writing, pedagogical innovation, and program assessment. This one-year fellowship, which may be renewed up to three years, includes a 3/3 teaching assignment or equivalent as well as full faculty benefits. Salary range is $45,000 – $50,000. Applicants must have the PhD completed before hiring (preferably by June 1).

In the initial year, fellows teach primarily in our first-year writing program, drawing on their disciplinary training to develop topical courses within a teaching-for-transfer framework. Fellows will be expected to participate in our portfolio assessment process as a part of their professional development. In subsequent years fellows have opportunities to

Teach an established course in the Writing Program such as Rhetorical Grammar; Technical Writing; Rhetorical Studies; Multimedia Journalism; or Race, Gender, and Media Making.

Develop upper-division classes in one or more of the following: quantitative argument and writing, writing in disciplinary contexts, editing and style, grant research and proposal writing, multilingual writing, advanced argument writing, persuasion and social movements, or other contributions to our planned minor.

Develop an administrative role of interest in an area of need for the Writing Program.

We support fellows by providing pedagogical training prior to their work in the first-year writing program as well as ongoing professional development opportunities and mentoring. We encourage fellows to pursue their scholarly agendas, provide multiple opportunities for public presentation of scholarly work, and assist fellows as they extend their research to include pedagogy, multiliteracies, digital humanities, and/or assessment.
