Koç University, Istanbul Turkey: Academic Writing Program

The Academic Writing Program at Koç University invites applications for multiple full-time Instructor positions to commence in Spring 2022. Qualified candidates should have an MA or PhD in a relevant field and have at least three years of successful experience teaching university-level academic writing. Candidates with experience teaching legal, business, medical or technical and scientific writing are encouraged to apply. Candidates with experience tutoring in a writing center and/or an educational/teaching background overseas will be given priority.

Successful candidates will be expected to teach five courses per semester within any of the three areas of the program: first-year writing, writing in the disciplines or consultations in the Writing Center. The Academic Writing Program employs content-based pedagogy to introduce students to academic discourse in first-year writing courses while using a research-based program for the advanced discipline-specific writing courses. Depending on your start date and the circumstances in Spring 2022, you may be asked to teach your courses online.
