The Concordia University Department of English invites applications for an Extended Term Appointment (ETA) at the rank of Lecturer in Composition and Professional Writing. This probationary continuing position is a cross-appointment with the Centre for Engineering in Society. A doctorate is necessary as well as university teaching experience in these fields.

The annual course allotment for an ETA is seven (21 credits), with concomitant course remission for coordination of the English programs. Service experience and demonstrated teaching effectiveness in the relevant areas will determine the ranking of applicants.
