Founded in 1907, California College of the Arts (CCA) is an independent non-profit art college with undergraduate programs in architecture, design, fine arts, visual studies, and writing. 

Position Summary:

California College of the Arts is seeking candidates for a tenure-track assistant professor position to teach courses in writing and communications skills to English Language Learners (ELLs). With a growing international ELL student population, currently about 30% of the student body, the program and college are searching for faculty interested in teaching remedial courses, evolving and designing curricula, providing academic coaching at a variety of levels, and increasing our institutional capacity to support undergraduate and graduate ELLs in both the academic and studio learning environments.

Teaching load is five courses per year, primarily at the undergraduate level, though, possibly, at the graduate level as well.

In addition to teaching, the successful candidate will be expected to collaborate on improving remedial ELL curriculum and prepared to provide occasional faculty trainings in ELL pedagogical methods for instructors across the college. The successful candidate will also have the opportunity to participate in the ongoing development of the college’s summer English-language intensive program with the possibility of teaching in the program (additionally compensated).

Minimum Qualifications:

- Possess a PhD or Master’s degree in TESOL or Composition with additional evidence of credential and experience in TESOL or other equivalent from an accredited institution;
- Evidence of professional activity including publications in academic journals and participation in relevant ESL conferences
- Have experience and interest in training peer instructors across the college in best practices around ELL learning in a higher education setting;
- Have a current, successful, and sustained record of teaching ELL students in a higher education setting;
- Demonstrate a background in teaching composition to ELL students at an undergraduate or graduate level;
- Have experience developing ELL curriculum and a willingness to play a central role in developing such curriculum in the future;
- Demonstrate a significant interest in art and design making practices as well as more traditional liberal arts academic disciplines and skills;
- Have an ability to collaborate on an instructional team and faculty committees;
- Have an interest in collaborating with other members of the college community to foster a successful learning environment for ELL students.

Salary: Commensurate with experience. Applicants are requested to state salary history and requirements; position includes a comprehensive benefits package. 

Application Deadline: January 8th, 2016
