Demonstrated excellence in university teaching required; research, publication, or other professional activity relevant to the teaching of writing preferred. Ph.D. or equivalent terminal degree required; exceptions may be made for comparable experience. Full-time Lecturers hired in this national search may receive two-year contracts with possibility of renewal, potentially leading to continuing appointment status.

The program is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through teaching, professional development activities, and service.
