The Department of Writing & Rhetoric at Colgate University invites applications for an Andrew W. Mellon Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Public Speaking and a related field in Rhetoric, to begin Fall, 2009. We seek a colleague with teaching experience who has completed a PhD in Rhetoric or Communication Studies by the time of the appointment but no earlier than 2005, and who does not currently hold a tenure stream position. We are especially interested in candidates who plan a career in undergraduate teaching and research, and whose scholarly program is focused on public speaking/oratory with the goal of combining practical pedagogies with rhetorical theory and criticism.
This is a two year fellowship, contingent on successful completion of the first year; the Fellow’s time will be divided between designing and teaching the equivalent of three courses, and conducting a personal research program in public speaking/oratory and/or related fields in Rhetoric. The Fellow will be invited to contribute fully to the life of the department.
Compensation for 2009-10 is $42,000 plus benefits. Financial support for research and travel will be available, and mentoring will be offered by a senior member of the department.

Applicants should send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a statement of teaching philosophy and a statement of research objectives to:
