Job: Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow in Tech Comm/Rhetoric at Utah State

[ten grrl]

Hello everyone,

Utah State's Technical Communication and Rhetoric (TCR) program is hiring a new postdoctoral teaching fellow for 2023-2024. I've been in this position since fall 2021, and it's been very beneficial to me in terms of specializing my research in technical and professional communication and developing a diverse teaching portfolio. The USU TCR faculty are all great mentors and colleagues, so this is a wonderful opportunity for any ABD candidate or recent PhD who is interested in developing their work as a technical communication teacher and researcher with a social justice focus. 

If anyone has questions about the position for me as the current postdoc, feel free to reach out. You can also feel free to contact any / all of the search committee members: Ryan Moeller (rylish....@usu.edu), Rebecca Walton (rebecca...@usu.edu), or Jared Colton (jared....@usu.edu).
