Please circulate the ad and share with anyone who might be interested in this position or anyone who might work with candidates who are on the job market this year. And consider applying if that includes yourself!

 

I’ve copied the language of the ad below, but here is the link to the posting: https://jobs.uc.edu/job/Cincinnati-Assistant-Professor-of-English%2C-UC-Blue-Ash-OH-45201/800560600/ To apply, please visit the link, create an account, and follow the instructions.

 

You’ll see that I am not the person to contact if you have questions. I am on the committee, but am not chairing the committee, and our procedures typically have you contact our department head for questions.

 

But I am happy to answer questions about the University of Cincinnati system, life in Cincinnati or Blue Ash, etc. more generally.

 

We look forward to seeing many wonderful applications from those whose first love is teaching in two-year colleges!

About the Job

The University of Cincinnati Blue Ash College invites applications for a tenure track Assistant Professor of English to teach, produce scholarship, and perform service, with primary teaching duties in the area of the Accelerated Learning Program (ALP).  Our ALP program is in high demand by students, and our new hire will play an immediate role in helping to grow the classroom offerings.

 

UC Blue Ash College is one of the largest regional colleges in Ohio and one of the largest and most diverse colleges at the University of Cincinnati. We offer primarily associate degrees in career and transition programs as well as general education courses and technical baccalaureate degrees to approximately 4500 students. 

 

Job Overview

UC Blue Ash College is an open-admissions, teaching-focused institution, and English & Communication is a collegial department committed to student success. The department is supportive of collaborative research and innovative teaching and offers broad opportunities for service. The English & Communication Department is actively engaged in promoting equity and inclusion in composition courses. To that end, the ALP has been developed in an effort to address an equity gap and help more students successfully complete first year composition within one semester.

 

Essential Functions

• Teaching four sections of writing per semester (a 4/4 load), including but not limited to co-requisite composition (Accelerated Learning Program), English Composition, and Developmental Writing;
• Participating in program assessment and curriculum development;
• Participating in department, college, and university service, such as serving on committees;
• Engaging in professional and scholarly activities such as presentations at scholarly venues, publication in relevant professional publications, or other scholarly methods of disseminating knowledge.

Required Education

A doctorate degree in English, Rhetoric and Composition, or a closely related field is required prior to effective date of appointment.

 

Required Experience

At least three academic years of experience teaching writing at the college level.

 

Application Process

Interested and qualified applicants must apply online. In addition to completing the online application, applicants must include the following:  

• a cover letter that directly addresses experience teaching writing at the college level, including anything relevant to the ALP/co-requisite model (if applicable), (if have not taught co-requisite writing, describe relevant academic coursework or research);
• a curriculum vitae,
• a statement of experience working with diverse student populations and/or in an open admissions college environment, if applicable; and
• a list of at least three professional references with contact information. Short-listed candidates will be asked to provide letters of recommendation. Preliminary interviews will be conducted via Zoom.

 

Please use the additional documents feature as needed for these items.

 

Initial review of applications will begin November 17, 2021; however, position will remain open until filled.
