Rice University’s Program in Writing and Communication seeks applicants for a two-year, non-renewable instructor position in Visual Communication to begin July 1, 2017.
The primary focus of this position is to collaborate with the faculty and staff of the Program in Writing and Communication (PWC) and its partners to advance visual communication across the various schools, departments, and programs at Rice. The PWC was established in 2012 and includes the Center for Written, Oral and Visual Communication and the First-Year Writing-Intensive Seminar Program. We are also actively engaged in Communication in the Disciplines and ESL programming. We have made a strategic decision to launch a sustainable visual communication initiative to enhance our programming in this area, and the person hired for this inaugural position will have a major role in helping the PWC achieve this goal.
The successful candidate will teach 2-3 upper or lower-division courses on visual and multimodal communication per year; develop workshops for faculty, graduate, and undergraduate students; plan and oversee a symposium on visual and multimodal communication pedagogy in second year of the appointment; and launch a collaboration with the Center for Written, Oral, and Visual Communication.
