Dear colleagues,
I’m excited to share the job ad for the Marion L. Brittain Postdoctoral Fellowship, with multiple positions starting January 1, 2025—please see below. This three-year fellowship includes service, research, and a 3/3 teaching assignment in first-year composition or business/technical communication. Within programmatic outcomes related to rhetoric, process, and multimodality, Fellows integrate their own research interests into the courses they teach. The salary for first-year fellows is $60,980; the salary increases in the second and third years of the fellowship.
In addition to full faculty benefits, including health insurance, retirement, and research support, Brittain Fellows receive preparation in and support for further development of writing and multimodal pedagogy via postdoctoral seminars. Brittain Fellows also benefit from other support activities and services, including the postdoctoral seminar in technical communication and job market support for both academic and nonacademic positions. Committed to excellent teaching and faculty professional development, Georgia Tech’s Writing and Communication Program is the winner of the 2020 Georgia Tech Diversity Champion Award, the 2021 Regents Teaching Excellence Award, and the 2021-22 CCCC Writing Program Certificate of Excellence.
Information about the Brittain Fellowship, including course descriptions, program philosophy, and current Fellow profiles can be found at https://wcprogram.lmc.gatech.edu/ . Applications should be submitted through the University System of Georgia careers portal by October 15 for optimal consideration.
Any further questions can be directed to me at andy.frazee.
