The Writing Program also has a writing minor with six emphases. Writing Program lecturers are integrally involved in program governance, development, and innovation. The Program is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through research, teaching, and service.
Successful applicants will join a thriving independent writing program in a research university committed to undergraduate education. UC Santa Barbara has been ranked as one of the top 25 research universities in the world and includes nationally- and internationally-recognized programs in the humanities, sciences, and engineering.

The pool will close on March 31, 2024; if you would like to continue to be considered after that time, and the pooled position is advertised again, you will need to submit a new application.
