Job: Advanced Assistant Professor in Composition at UTampa

[ten grrl]

I am pleased to announce that the Department of English and Writing at the University of Tampa is accepting applications for a tenure-track Advanced Assistant Professor in Composition to begin in August 2026.

 

The successful candidate will hold a Ph.D. in Rhetoric and Composition, Writing Studies, or a related field and have experience teaching in undergraduate writing programs. Leadership experience in writing program administration is preferred, as the candidate will be expected to step into our rotating WPA role following tenure. Competitive candidates should demonstrate an interest in developing curricula for both our Academic Writing (AWR) and general education (Spartan Studies) programs.

 

Candidates must show promise of scholarly achievement commensurate with a tenure-track appointment. Published scholarship on writing program administration or composition pedagogy is desirable, but we welcome those with active research agendas in areas including but not limited to: writing assessment, composition technologies, online pedagogy, writing center theory and practice, or multilingual writing. The teaching load for this position is 6 courses per year, primarily in AWR with opportunities to teach in our English and Writing core and the Spartan Studies general-education curriculum.

 

Applications should include a cover letter, CV, and a writing sample of no more than twenty-five pages. Letters of recommendation may be requested at a later time. Review of applications will begin November 3, 2025.
