MIT seeks a Director for the Writing and Communication Center (WCC) beginning Fall 2019. MIT’s WCC focuses on advanced professional communication skills with a particular emphasis on STEM fields. MIT values the development of communication skills of its students and the Director of WCC is expected to provide leadership, strategic vision, and innovation designed to advance practices that aid in that pursuit. This is a full-time (12-month) renewable non-tenure track position. The initial appointment to this position would be for five years. The WCC is open to faculty, postdocs, undergraduate and graduate students, alumni, and staff, and provides clients with professional one-on-one instruction in all stages of the communication (oral, written, digital) process from drafting to revision. The Director of the Center is responsible for overseeing its daily operation, providing training and supervision for the professional tutors (lecturers) that staff the Center, collating program evaluation and usage data, administering WCC policies and practices, overseeing the WCC website, and producing annual reports. The Director is also expected to teach the equivalent of two classes per year, tutor students across the disciplines, present workshops to relevant groups, promote the WCC within MIT, and coordinate efforts with the Writing, Rhetoric, and Professional Communication program.
