QUALIFICATIONS Candidates should have a PhD or other terminal degree by June 2024. We require demonstrated excellence in teaching writing at the college level, with experience as instructor of record in writing-specific courses strongly preferred. Candidates should demonstrate responsiveness toward and understanding of diverse student backgrounds, especially with regard to socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, culture, ability/disability, sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity. While many of our faculty have scholarly backgrounds in Rhetoric and Composition and English Literature, we welcome candidates from diverse fields and with varied areas of interest, such as (but not limited to) global and public health, technology-mediated instruction, or community engagement. APPLICATION PROCEDURE The deadline for applications is November 30, 2023. Applicants should submit a letter of application, a diversity statement, a CV, and the names of three referees who can speak to teaching abilities. The referees will be contacted directly by USC to provide letters of reference after you submit your application.

We will be conducting first-round interviews remotely during the dates of January 4-12, 2024. Second round interviews will be held in mid-January, with more information provided at a later date.
