The Department of English at the University of Houston-Downtown (UHD) is seeking a tenure-track Assistant Professor to join the faculty
and serve as First-Year Composition (FYC) Director, beginning August 2024. The successful candidate will collaborate with current faculty to
enhance well-established curricular and institutional programs.
Our FYC Director will be an experienced leader who has
administrative experience in a writing program or writing center that is ready to support and collaborate with our diverse students,
faculty, and staff. The search committee is especially interested to hear from candidates who approach first-year composition from multiple
perspectives and who are prepared to guide instructors in the promotion of critical thinking in their classrooms. To this end, our FYC
Director will draw from current composition praxis to provide curricular, administrative, and pedagogical leadership for teachers in our FYC
program via effective communication and professional development opportunities.
Publications in the candidate’s field of
expertise and university service are required for tenure. The teaching load is 4/3 but the FYC Director position comes with two course
releases each long semester resulting in a 2/1 teaching load. Additional adjustments are made for graduate teaching.
Please submit a
CV and cover letter describing your experience with writing program administration, research agenda, and teaching experience by Monday,
January 8, 2024.
