Depending on experience and departmental needs, hired instructors will teach one of the following:

These sections meet four days a week, Monday through Thursday, during the 8-week 1 and 8-week 2 sessions respectively. Co-requisite ENG 1300 and ENG 1301 sections are paired so that the same students are enrolled in both sections. Due to the developmental purpose of these sections, class sizes are capped at a lower number than is the case with other writing courses at UHD.

Required Qualifications: 

• ENG 1300 and 1301: PhD or MA in English (or directly related discipline)

To apply, candidates must submit a resume or curriculum vitae and a cover letter. Official transcripts and two signed letters of reference on academic letterhead will be required from candidates who reach the final stage of consideration, but these documents are not needed in the initial application. The departmental Assistant Chair will inform candidates about how and when to submit their transcripts and letters of reference.
