Lecturer

College of Arts & Sciences, Writing Program

The College of Arts & Sciences Writing Program at Boston University expects to hire several full-time Lecturers in Writing to begin in July 2027. Responsibilities include teaching three classes per semester--theme-based first-year writing seminars and/or classes for multilingual writers--and participating in program service and ongoing professional development. The initial term of appointment is two years, with the possibility of renewal and promotion. The provisional starting salary is $72,000 (with a new contract currently under negotiation).

Successful candidates will have the equivalent of at least five full-time years of experience teaching writing, will be flexible in the range of course levels they are prepared to teach, and will have experience in at least one of the following areas: science/social science writing, teaching writing to multilingual learners, teaching creativity/design thinking, teaching multimodal or oral communication. Successful candidates will also have expertise in inclusive pedagogy--including teaching writing in ways that equitably serve BU's many multilingual students and in keeping with Writing Program values and the College's and University's social justice priorities.

We are committed to building a diverse faculty and program, encompassing a breadth of perspectives, identities, and backgrounds that reflect those of BU's racially and economically diverse undergraduate population. We strongly encourage candidates from historically marginalized groups to apply and are encouraged by BU's redoubled efforts to recruit and retain underrepresented faculty in initiatives including the LGBTQIA+ Center for Faculty & Staff and its series of Faculty & Staff Community Networks.

The Writing Program is an independent instructional unit with more than fifty full-time unionized Lecturers. We offer a two-semester sequence of theme-based writing seminars (18 students each) through which most BU undergraduates satisfy their writing requirements, and we prepare international undergraduate students for writing in their college classes through an additional two-course sequence for multilingual writers (15 students each). We also offer a small number of upper-level writing courses and a Minor in Writing. BU offers a rich range of resources for professional development and course enhancement. More information about the Arts & Sciences Writing Program is available at http://www.bu.edu/writingprogram/ and at https://www.bu.edu/teaching-writing/.
