Part-time Instructor - First Year Writing
Department: Humanities & Social Sciences
Reports To: The Department Chair
Position Type: Faculty
The First-Year Writing Program (FYWP) at the New Jersey Institute of Technology is currently recruiting part-time instructors to teach one or both of its foundational writing courses. The first course in the sequence, ENGL 101 Introduction to Academic Writing, is designed to transition students from high school to college reading and writing with a focus on the writing process, genre study, and information literacy. The second course in the two-term sequence, ENGL 102 Introduction to Research Writing, builds on the reading, writing, and rhetorical skills practiced during the first semester, offering a road to success in college writing. This subsequent course constructs a multidisciplinary approach to information literacy, research work, and writing. Typically, instructors hired for the fall semester will primarily teach sections of ENGL 101 and, for the spring, ENGL 102.
The FYWP is a constituent part of the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, which is an interdisciplinary community of researchers and educators that encourages current pedagogy consistent with the aims of a technologically intensive university. Questions can be directed to Kim Chen, Director, at kchen@njit.edu.
