The University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown seeks a diligent, collegial writer/teacher for an assistant professor position in its Department of English Writing. This position will be on a three-year renewable contract beginning in late August of 2026. The hire's specialization must be in a field of professional writing (e.g., technical writing, professional communication, report and grant writing, etc.). Professional experience in the field (e.g., having worked as a tech writer) is a huge plus for those applying. A PhD in Professional Writing, broadly defined, is required, as this new hire will teach such courses as Technical Writing; Intro to Professional Writing (i.e., writing in or about one's future profession); Business Writing; and Grammar, Usage, & Style. An ABD in Professional Writing, with a firm date set for the dissertation defense, is also acceptable. Expertise in digital communication is expected, including the use and abuse of A.I. The hire may also teach Composition, and if the hire has some background in creative writing, they may also be called on to teach occasionally in this area. Many of the courses mentioned here serve STEM and Business majors, who comprise the majority of students on this campus. The hire will be expected to publish regularly in refereed journals in their field. They will also serve on departmental and university committees. The teaching load is four courses per semester, including two sections of Technical Writing and two other courses.

Qualifications other than the degree, publications, and specialization noted above include college teaching in relevant course areas; evidence of teaching effectiveness; commitment to teaching excellence; and strong potential for a sustained record of publication.

For full consideration, upload letter of application, vita, transcripts, evidence of teaching effectiveness, one refereed article regarding some facet of professional writing, and three letters of reference (directly from source or placement office) to Pitt's Talent Center site _______________. Finalists will be required to submit official transcripts. Review of applications will begin on February 1, 2026, and continue until the position is filled; to receive full consideration, all materials should be received by the initial review date.

Pitt-Johnstown is a comprehensive four-year undergraduate campus of the University of Pittsburgh System, located 70 miles southeast of Pittsburgh on a beautiful 650-acre wooded site in the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania.
