Job description

Job Description:

More information can be found at spu.edu/writing.
We often have staffing needs in WRI 1000 and WRI 1100, our two-course required first-year writing sequence. Teaching in these courses would provide an opportunity to work closely with other SPU WRI faculty in our continued efforts to engage students in a transformative first-year experience.
Requirements:
  • Doctoral degree in composition and rhetoric, or in literature, or
  • Terminal degree in related field, or
  • Terminal degree in another field with heavy emphasis on writing
  • A personal commitment to Christian faith, enthusiasm about supporting SPU's mission, alignment with the University's Statement of Faith, and willingness to accept the lifestyle standards of the Christian community.
  • A comfortability discussing the intersection of faith and writing with students
