Each year the Harvard College Writing Program at Harvard University hires several preceptors (Harvard's title for this non-ladder faculty position) from a variety of disciplines. The position has typically been seen as a desirable kind of post-doc for a year or two before our faculty move on to tenure-track jobs in their fields.
Each faculty member develops a writing course on an academic topic, usually grounded in his or her field or in an interdisciplinary approach, emphasizing argument, analysis and close work with source material. Each faculty member teaches two sections per semester of fifteen freshmen per section. Salary and benefits are competitive. Contracts are for one year, renewable for five years. Preference is given to candidates with Ph.D.s in academic disciplines that are taught at Harvard College; who have college teaching experience; and who demonstrate a lively interest in teaching undergraduates to become skilled academic writers.
As the Program continues to diversify its course offerings beyond the humanities, the hiring committee is particularly keen on recruiting faculty in the social sciences and sciences to join the Program's growing number of colleagues in those fields (we now have a psychologist, sociologist, several cultural anthropologists, and a biological anthropologist on the faculty). The Program offers extensive teaching support for new faculty as they develop their courses and strategies for teaching freshmen the fundamentals of academic analytical writing.
