Dear CATTWers, CSSRers, and CASLLers,

Below is a job ad for a tenure-track position in Rhetoric and
Professional Communication at Laurentian University.  In the interests
of persuading as many qualified candidates as possible to apply for this
position, I'd like to preface the formal ad with my own perspective on
some of the benefits of working at Laurentian:

1. Our English department is very friendly and collegial, and actually
manages to discuss and collaborate on most issues in generally
productive, supportive ways.

2.  Although we have offered some courses in Rhetoric for many years,
recently we have developed a full undergraduate program in Rhetoric and
Media Studies that integrates theory and practice in written, oral, and
multi-media communication.

3. Class sizes at Laurentian tend to be considerably smaller than at
larger universities and in the English Dept we pride ourselves on our
strong rapport with students and our ability to give them considerable
individualized attention. In the Rhetoric program, class size typically
ranges from 20 to 40 students.

4. Laurentian has a really interesting Interdisciplinary Humanities
M.A. program in Interpretation and Values that English Dept faculty
regularly teach in if they so desire.

5.  A post-graduate Science Communication Diploma will almost certainly
start being offered either in 2004-05 or 2005-06.  This diploma is a
joint venture between Laurentian and Science North, our local but
world-class public science centre.  This diploma does not constitute
part of the English Dept's programming, but it's possible that there
would be opportunities for our new Rhetoric person to participate in
it.

5.  Sudbury is a great place to live if you like any of the following
outdoor activities: hiking, canoeing, sailing, camping, swimming,
mountain biking, running, skating, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing,
ice-fishing (and I'm sure I've missed some!).  We have a whole bunch of
freshwater lakes right in the heart of the city that are swimmable,
including a great beach just 5 mins from my office.  Sudbury is also, I
have found, a wonderful place to bring up a young family.  I should also
mention that we have several art galleries and theatres, an annual film
festival, an annual folk/arts festival, writing groups and poetry
readings, and some (though admittedly not a vast number) of good
restaurants.

Ok, enough of the promotion!  I welcome personal emails or phone calls
from anyone interested in getting more background information:

Please forward this ad to other people/groups as you think fit.

Philippa
