FACULTY VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT

The English Department at the College of Staten Island of the City University of New York is pleased to invite applications for two full-time Doctoral Lecturer positions in Rhetoric and Composition.

We seek colleagues with disciplinary expertise in Rhetoric and Composition to support the work of our large first-year writing program and aid in further developing a progressive culture of literacy for our campus community and beyond. We look forward to welcoming colleagues prepared to help further our vision of writing as an equitable, ethical, rhetorical subject, and who practice student-centered, anti-racist, culturally-relevant pedagogies. Applicants who have interest/experience in programmatic work, including faculty development and mentoring, curriculum development, assessment, and community outreach, are strongly encouraged to apply. We are especially interested in candidates who desire to teach and learn in a highly diverse community and share our mission of nurturing a culture of belonging for all. We welcome and encourage applications from individuals who are under-represented in the profession across color, creed, race, class, ethnicity, national origin, physical ability, and gender and sexual identity.

CSI has an active first-year writing program, offering a two course sequence (including co-requisite and ESL options) intended to promote student agency and rhetorical awareness as a path to personal, civic, and intellectual empowerment. Additionally, CSI participates in the CUNY WAC Fellows program, hosting and mentoring graduate students from the CUNY Graduate Center, and providing faculty development for our wider CSI faculty. The English Department offers a writing concentration within the major and a concentration in Rhetoric at the MA level. Rhetoric and Writing faculty are also involved in community outreach, collaborating with English teachers and students in area schools.

Doctoral lecturer faculty teach an annual workload of 24 units, typically a 3-3 teaching load. Successful candidates are expected to teach in the first-year writing sequence and will have opportunities to teach writing studies courses in the major and the MA program. As full-time faculty members in the English department, doctoral lecturers are also welcomed and expected to contribute to routine service and governance work.

Lecturers in the CUNY system are eligible to earn a contractually-equivalent form of tenure, called a certificate of continuous employment. Intended to acknowledge and secure our expert teaching faculty, continuous employment certification may be achieved after 5 years of service in the rank, based on the candidate’s teaching and service record.
