Greetings all –
We’re hiring a NTT Associate Director for the Writing and Communication Program (WCP) at Georgia Tech! I’ve pasted the core of the ad below; you can find the full details in the MLA JIL and Inside Higher Ed.
Currently in the MLA ad, there’s an error in the posted salary. The correct range is 80-90k.
The search committee chair, Andy Frazee can answer any questions: afrazee3
We’re also hiring multiple lecturers (ad to follow) as well as Marion L. Brittain Postdoctoral Teaching Fellows. So it’s an exciting time to join the WCP!
Thanks, Melissa
