> Hello,
>  
> I write to inform you of a teaching opportunity in the Program in Writing and Rhetoric (PWR) for Stanford students who completed doctorates in 2019-20 or will complete one in 2020-21: a one-year instructorship.  We continue to seek ways to implement the SUES recommendation that PWR hire instructors from across the range of academic disciplines, and our needs for next year allow us to search for candidates with strong interests in pedagogy, particularly the teaching of writing and research.  The application process for these positions opens on March 26, with applications due April 12, 2021. 
>  
> For these instructorships, candidates must have completed their doctoral studies and have the Ph.D. in hand by the time of the appointment, August 1, 2021; for the coming round of appointments, we will accept applications from candidates who earned their doctorates in 2019-20 or who will complete them during the 2020-21 academic year, with conferral in June 2021 at the latest.  We encourage applications from candidates from all fields with demonstrated excellence as teachers and strong interests in the teaching of writing and research. We have two aims in hiring for these positions, to benefit Stanford undergraduates by expanding the spectrum of academic disciplines represented by teachers in PWR and to offer an opportunity for recent Stanford doctorates who wish to expand their teaching experience in the context of a university writing program.
>  
> This instructor position will carry a load of six sections in academic year 2021-22, with a start date of August 1, 2021.  New instructors must be available for intensive pedagogical training sessions in August.  All applicants will need to include a statement from their chair, program director, or dissertation director confirming that the doctoral degree will be conferred by June 2021.
>  
> The detailed position announcement is below, attached as a separate document, and can also be found atapply.interfolio.com/85506 <x-msg://86/apply.interfolio.com/85506>. I hope that you will see the position as a valuable opportunity and that you will share the announcements with prospective applicants. Please write to me (ajbanks at stanford.edu <mailto:ajbanks at stanford.edu>) or PWR director Marvin Diogenes (marvind at stanford.edu <mailto:marvind at stanford.edu>) with any questions about the position.

> Stanford University seeks a number of highly-qualified instructors to develop and teach first-year writing courses in its Program in Writing and Rhetoric, a program in the Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education. We explicitly encourage applicants with teaching experience and a strong interest in the teaching of writing and research. Qualifying applicants must have completed their doctoral work within either the 2019-20 or 2020-21 academic year at Stanford. 
> 
> The Program in Writing and Rhetoric (PWR) teaches courses that fulfill the undergraduate writing and rhetoric requirement. PWR offers approximately 200 courses a year, taught seminar/workshop style in classes of 15 students each.  These small classes emphasize the development of each student’s analytical and research-based writing.  Individual classes explore writing, rhetoric, and research from a range of thematic perspectives and within a range of disciplinary contexts. The second course in the requirement includes focused attention to the study and development of oral and multimedia texts to expand students’ understanding of contemporary language and argument. 
> 
> Instructors generally teach two sections per quarter during the academic year (six sections in all for the year). They will be responsible for developing syllabi for their sections in alignment with course and assignment guidelines defined and used throughout PWR.  Instructors will participate in professional development activities available through the program, including formal training in rhetoric, composition, and writing pedagogy in August and September before the start of the academic year; we consider this training in writing pedagogy one of the primary benefits of the appointment, as the principles and practices can be adapted to teaching in all disciplines. Instructors will have access to a lively community of teachers, writers, and researchers, including Stanford faculty and lecturers from a range of disciplines.  Further information about the program can be found at https://undergrad.stanford.edu/programs/pwr <https://undergrad.stanford.edu/programs/pwr>.
> 
> Appointments of Instructors will be made for a term of 11 months, with a start date of August 1, 2021 and end date of June 30, 2022.  Salary will be $70,000 and will be accompanied by a standard benefits package.

At the time of application in spring 2021, the chair or director of an ABD applicant’s department or program should provide a statement that the applicant will have completed and filed their dissertation and received the degree before the appointment begins.
