The department seeks a candidate who can teach at least two in-person sections of a first-year composition course.

Courses are scheduled either three days per week (MWF) for 50 minutes or two days per week (MW or TTH) for 80 minutes. A standard syllabus template and frameworks for required assignments will be provided.
Successful candidates must have at least a Master’s degree in English, Composition, or a related subject; prior experience teaching undergraduate students; and a demonstrable dedication to student success.

Interested candidates should submit a brief cover letter and curriculum vitae to the appropriate job posting on the university’s website.
