Emory Writing Program Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow

Emory Healthcare/Emory University • Atlanta, GA • 2h ago

The Writing Program at Emory University is accepting applications for one-year postdoctoral fellowships. These positions may be renewed for up to two additional years. We seek applicants with experience in teaching writing-intensive courses and who have further interest in teaching writing, pedagogical innovation, program development, and assessment. We are especially interested in applicants with experience in or preparation for teaching technical communication. Applicants must have a PhD conferred before August 1, 2026 and be within three years of degree conferral. The salary for the 2026-27 academic year will be $55,000. Fellows are expected to be in Atlanta prior to the beginning of the fall 2026 semester.

The Emory Writing Program (EWP) is part of the English Department in the Emory College of Arts and Sciences and is committed to teaching and research in the fields of rhetoric and composition. We offer courses in first year writing, rhetorical studies, technical writing, and in support of our minor in Rhetoric, Writing, and Information Design (RWID). The EWP also operates the college Writing Center and organizes writing across the curriculum/writing in the disciplines (WAC/WID) workshops across Emory College.

The teaching assignment for Postdoctoral Fellows is a 3/3 course load or equivalent. In the initial year, Fellows will teach first-year writing seminars (and, if applicable, technical communication), drawing on their disciplinary training and/or professional experience to develop topical courses, capped at 16 students, within a teaching-for-transfer framework. Fellows will also participate in our programmatic assessment process, immediately after each spring semester, as part of their professional development. If renewed, Fellows will have further opportunities in the Writing Program that may include:

Teaching an established course in the Writing Program, such as Rhetorical Grammar; Multimedia Journalism; Technical Writing; Rhetorical Studies; or Race, Gender, and Media Making.

Designing and teaching new courses that emphasize or complement our program's current strengths and the program's minor in Rhetoric, Writing, and Information Design (RWID), including: technical communication, public writing, writing with quantitative data, digital rhetorics and the digital humanities, writing in disciplinary @contexts, professional editing and style, grant research and proposal writing, multilingual writing, advanced argumentative writing, and persuasion and social movements.

Developing an administrative role of interest in an area of need for the Writing Program, such as Writing Across Emory (WAC/WID), FYW, or RWID.

Assisting in cultivating community-engaged learning opportunities for students in the RWID minor.

The Emory Writing Program supports Fellows by providing pedagogical training and ongoing mentoring and professional development opportunities. We provide opportunities for professional development-including presentations of scholarly and pedagogical work within the Writing Program and English Department-and we assist Fellows as they extend their research to include pedagogy, multiliteracies, digital humanities, and/or assessment.
