Position Summary:
The First-Year Writing
Program (FYWP) at the New Jersey Institute of Technology is currently
recruiting part-time instructors to teach one or both of its foundational
writing courses. The first course in the sequence, ENGL 101 Introduction to
Academic Writing, is designed to transition students from high school to
college reading and writing with a focus on the writing process, genre study,
and information literacy. The second course in the two-term sequence, ENGL 102
Introduction to Research Writing, builds on the reading, writing, and
rhetorical skills practiced during the first semester, offering a road to
success in college writing. This subsequent course constructs a
multidisciplinary approach to information literacy, research work, and writing.
Typically, instructors hired for the fall semester will primarily teach
sections of ENGL 101 and, for the spring, ENGL 102.

The FYWP is a constituent part of the Department of Humanities and Social
