Job Description:

The Health Sciences Writing Centre invites applications for a .5 FTE
position as writing instructor for the Health Sciences Writing Centre in
the Faculty of Nursing at the rank of Lecturer, starting July 1, 2005.
This is a career position.

The Health Sciences Writing Centre at the University of Toronto provides
writing instruction to undergraduate and graduate students in the
Faculties of Dentistry, Nursing, Pharmacy, Physical Education and
Health, and Social Work. The successful applicant will be expected to
have experience in both university teaching and teaching in the context
of a university writing centre; familiarity with ESL instruction;
general administrative skills; a strong sense of collegiality; and a
proven sensitivity to students with varying backgrounds. Duties include
12 hours of one-to-one instruction per week to eligible Health Sciences
students, especially but not limited to Nursing students; delivering
orientation and some in-course lectures on writing to Nursing students;
preparing and distributing instructional materials; and actively
maintaining liaison with Nursing course instructors. As programs in the
Faculty of Nursing run year-round, some summer teaching is required.

Qualifications should preferably include a PhD or ABD. A background that
includes life or health sciences, or teaching writing in the sciences,
is an asset. A curriculum vitae, a teaching portfolio including a
sample of academic writing, and the names and contact information of
three referees should be sent to Dr. Dena Taylor, Director, Health
Sciences Writing Centre, University of Toronto, 55 Harbord Street,
Toronto, Ontario, M5S 2W6. The application deadline is: January 31, 2005.

given priority.
