The program focuses on the developing linguistic and argumentation skills through three thematically integrated courses that scaffold learning and provide solid preparation for student engagement in the liberal arts curriculum. The Academic Enrichment Program consistently advises students as they negotiate the transition to the university. AEP also works with students to enhance individual academic and cultural experiences while also giving them a sense of personal accomplishment and growth.

The appointments are for three years, beginning in the fall of 2023 and are potentially renewable subject to a probationary review at the end of the first year. Lecturers teach up to six sections (or their equivalent) of writing courses over the academic year, a. report to the Director of the Academic Enrichment Program, b. work closely with the instructors assigned to assist writing courses as tutors, and c. participate in program
development activities.

Lecturers attend orientation in August, continue ongoing research in their academic or creative fields, participate in regular writing development workshops throughout the academic year, and contribute to the intellectual life of NYUAD.

Applications will be accepted immediately and candidates will be considered until February 8, 2023.
