Arts Studies in Research and Writing – Sessional Lecturers for WRDS 150
2016 Winter (T1 & T2)

 Arts Studies in Research and Writing (ASRW) in the Faculty of Arts, UBC Vancouver invites applications for part-time sessional lectureships to cover sections of WRDS 150: Research and Writing in the Humanities and Social Sciences (3 credits) in the 2016 Winter session: Term 1 (Sept 1 – Dec 31, 2016) and Term 2 (Jan 1 – April 30, 2017). There are approximately 33 sections available; however, the final number of sections offered is subject to enrolment.

Each section of WRDS 150 will enroll a maximum of 30 Arts students, and will take a writing-in-the-disciplines approach to reading and writing in the social sciences and humanities. (see Calendar description at: http://www.calendar.ubc.ca/vancouver/courses.cfm?page=code&code=WRDS)

Qualifications:

Applicants will have a doctorate in a relevant field (including writing and discourse studies, composition theory, rhetoric, applied linguistics, language and literacy studies), or a doctorate in another humanities or social science field and experience in teaching writing in the disciplines and/or teaching writing with genre-based pedagogy. Applicants from both inside and outside UBC are encouraged to apply. Inquiries may be addressed to the ASRW Chair, Dr. Katja Thieme ([log in to unmask]).
