ASSISTANT PROFESSORSHIPS (2) IN RHETORIC AND COMPOSITION. TENURE TRACK. 

PENN STATE AT UNIVERSITY PARK.  We seek promising scholars and proven 
teachers to fill two positions in rhetoric and composition, and to help 
design and teach a rhetoric curriculum for undergraduates and graduate 
students of the 21st century.

(1) One position, in the history and/or theory of rhetoric, requires an 
assistant professor with expertise in historical, comparative, and/or 
conceptual investigations of rhetorical practices.  For this position,
we 
particularly (but not exclusively) seek researchers focusing on one or
more 
of the following: ancient rhetoric, non-Western rhetoric, semiotics, 
sociolinguistics, ethnographic studies of rhetoric and composition, and 
rhetoric of historiography.

(2) For the second position we require an assistant professor with
expertise 
in the rhetoric of science and technology, historical or contemporary.
We 
are generally interested in scholarship and teaching pertaining to
cultural 
studies of science, technology and medicine; and we are particularly
(but 
not exclusively) interested in scholarship and teaching about effects of
new 
media-- historical or contemporary--on technoscientific change, e.g.,
visual 
rhetorics in technical and medical communication.  A scholar and teacher
who 
fills the second position will be expected to collaborate with Penn
State's 
Science, Medicine, Technology and Culture program, a group of diverse 
faculty and graduate students dedicated to interdisciplinary study.

For both positions, we seek scholars and teachers eager to contribute to
our 
nationally prominent program in rhetoric and composition, with 
responsibilities to undergraduate and graduate education, and in the
service 
of a creative vision for teaching rhetoric to more than ten thousand 
students each year.  PhD required by August 1, 2005.  We offer
competitive 
salary, varied teaching assignments, and professional support.  We will 
begin reviewing applications October 21, and will accept applications
until 
the position is filled.  Please send letter, c.v., and dissertation
abstract 
to:  Richard Doyle and Keith Gilyard, Co-chairs, Rhetoric and
Composition 
Search Committee, Box RC,  Department of English, 117 Burrowes Building,

Penn State, University Park, PA 16802.  Penn State is committed to 
affirmative action, equal opportunity, and the diversity of its
workforce.

Applicants who also have administrative experience in creative writing 
programs are welcome.  MFA, PhD, or equivalent required by August 1,
2005.  
We offer competitive salary, varied teaching assignments, and
