Clemson is an R-1 land grant institution located in upstate South Carolina—a global university with a mission to serve the diverse communities of our state. The recently updated university strategic plan offers a three-tiered strategy to enhance student experience, increase faculty research, and expand the positive impact of the university within communities across South Carolina. Consequently, the search committee is especially interested to hear from candidates with an interest in student engagement and community outreach, especially to traditionally underserved communities across the state.
Qualifications
We welcome applicants who have or will soon receive a Ph.D. in rhetoric and composition. The Ph.D. must have been conferred within the past five years or must be in hand by the start of the appointment. Candidates should have an active research agenda and experience with writing pedagogy and/or administration.
We especially welcome applicants with an interest in developing an expertise in any of the following: mentoring and supporting MA students new to teaching first-year writing; incorporating generative AI into writing classes or developing course materials/policies for generative AI; supporting the development of themed first-year writing courses taught by experienced faculty or advanced graduate students; or exploring and implementing alternative assessment practices on a course or programmatic level.
