Assistant Teaching Professor in Technical Communication & Cultural Rhetorics

The Emory Writing Program (Emory University, Atlanta, GA) invites applications for an Assistant Teaching Professor to join our team in Fall 2025. The ideal applicant will work at the intersections of technical communication and cultural rhetorics, and we especially encourage scholar-teachers whose portfolios engage with Black rhetorical traditions or digital race and information studies to apply. The successful applicant will design and teach undergraduate courses across the Emory College of Arts and Sciences that emphasize our program’s strengths in public and technical/professional writing, writing with quantitative data, digital rhetorics, and more. Applicants could also grow our program through their work with critical race studies, critical data studies, data visualization and visual rhetorics, generative AI, and similar areas of expertise.

The successful applicant should hold a Ph.D. specializing in composition and rhetoric, writing studies, or a related field. In addition to experience in technical/digital composition, the candidate should have expertise in an area of cultural rhetorics, including but not limited to Black, Asian/American, Latine/o/a/x, Indigenous, and/or Middle Eastern rhetorics, or another area that privileges non-Western, matrilineal, or collective forms of knowledge and expression. We particularly encourage applicants from historically underrepresented backgrounds, and our program is committed to practicing and promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.
