Please see the announcement below for an opportunity to teach
undergraduate writing courses at Duke University. Fellows are granted
considerable freedom in designing courses around their disciplinary
interests, and we welcome applications from scientists in any field.
Lecturing Fellows
Thompson Writing Program
Duke University
We anticipate offering several postdoctoral fellowships on a
multidisciplinary faculty charged with teaching an innovative first-year
course in Academic Writing. We seek candidates with a Ph.D. in any
field and a demonstrated commitment to undergraduate teaching. Fellows
are asked to draw on their disciplinary training and interests to design
a seminar-style course introducing students to academic writing.
Teaching load is five sections of Academic Writing per year, with each
section limited to 12 students. Appointment is at a level of Lecturing
Fellow (non-tenure-track), starting July 1, 2011. Contract is for an
initial three years, renewable after successful review for two more
years. Salary is competitive with a strong benefits package, and with
opportunities for professional development. To apply use our online
application form at
