I am pleased to announce that, following a successful search last year, the Department of English and Writing at the University of Tampa is again accepting applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Composition to begin in August 2027.
The successful candidate will hold a Ph.D. in Rhetoric and Composition, Writing Studies, or a related field and have experience teaching in undergraduate writing programs. Leadership experience in writing program administration is preferred, as the candidate will be expected to step into our rotating WPA role following tenure. Competitive candidates should demonstrate an interest in developing curricula for both our Academic Writing (AWR) and general education (Spartan Studies) programs.
Candidates must show promise of scholarly achievement commensurate with a tenure-track appointment. Published scholarship on writing program administration or composition pedagogy is desirable, and we welcome advanced candidates with active research agendas in areas including but not limited to: writing assessment, multimodal composition, online pedagogy, writing center theory and practice, or multilingual writing. The teaching load for this position is 6 courses per year, primarily in AWR with opportunities to teach in our English and Writing core and the Spartan Studies general-education curriculum.
Applications should include a cover letter, CV, and a writing sample of no more than twenty-five pages. Letters of recommendation may be requested at a later time. Applications received by October 15th will receive prioritized consideration. For more details and to apply visit :
