Good afternoon,
The FYC Program at Texas Woman’s University (TWU) is hiring two basic writing/ corequisite lecturers
Best wishes,
Jackie
Full-Time Lecturer in English.
We invite applications for two full-time lecturers in First-Year Composition to support TWU’s developmental education curriculum. Applicants should have an established record of and avid interest in teaching integrated reading and writing. We are especially interested in candidates with prior experience working with, advising, and/or mentoring at-risk students. This is a teaching-centered position with a 5/5 course load and an expectation of departmental service. While the position includes minimal research requirements, candidates are expected to stay abreast of trends in the field and current best practices with integrated reading and writing. Courses will primarily consist of integrated reading and writing and on-level First-Year Composition. The position is renewable annually assuming good performance.
The positions begin August 2025. Successful candidates should hold an MA or PhD in English, Rhetoric, or a closely allied field. The candidates should be prepared to teach engaging courses in a range of modalities: face-to-face, hybrid, and online courses. Rank of lecturer appointment (I, II, III, or Sr.) depends on experience and qualifications.
To apply, please submit your CV and letter of application, via the application portal; additional materials may be requested. Review of applications begins immediately and continues until the position is filled.
We are a lively, engaged, and collaborative multidisciplinary department offering a BA and MA in English and a PhD in Rhetoric; BA, MA, and PhD in Multicultural Women’s and Gender Studies; and, beginning Fall 2025, a BA in Spanish.
