Sweetland seeks to hire a LEO Lecturer III with expertise in Writing across the Curriculum (WAC) / Writing in the Disciplines (WID) / Writing Enriched Curriculum (WEC).

Administrative/service duties for this position include serving on two of Sweetland's standing committees and supporting LSA departments in a range of areas related to the Upper-Level Writing Requirement (ULWR), including the development of teaching resources for the ULWR (e.g., workshops for faculty and GSIs, handouts for Sweetland's Guides to Teaching Writing webpage).
