The Graduate Writing Center is hiring writing consultants from all disciplines to help provide the TTU community with high quality, collaborative writing support.
Our center is a supportive, challenging, and exciting place to build your professional skills. As a consultant, you will develop your own writing skills and gain experience working with student writers. We value the productive potential of a diverse multidisciplinary and multilingual staff and welcome non-native English speakers to apply. We will consider applicants online programs and at regional sites.
Ideal candidates are engaged writers and learners and should have:
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Strong interpersonal skills
- The ability to assess and provide constructive feedback for writing in a variety of genres and disciplines
- The willingness to learn through individual feedback and ongoing professional development.
Typically, consultant responsibilities will include:
- Working 5-10 hours per week in one-to-one consultations onsite and online
- Attending weekly professional development meetings
These positions are compensated through a graduate part-time instructorship (GPTI) or through hourly pay funded by the Writing Centers of Texas Tech University. They may be held in addition to assistantships or other work commitments with the approval of faculty and administrators. Please note that due to visa regulations, international students typically cannot work as consultants if they already hold 0.5 FTE positions in their home departments. However, we will consider splitting a 0.5 FTE position between the GWC and the student’s home department.
