ORCA English​/Interdisciplinary Instructor; Tenure Track

The Ocean Research College Academy (ORCA), an Everett Community College program that is a national leader in interdisciplinary, undergraduate research for Running Start students, seeks a full-time, tenure-track English/Interdisciplinary instructor. This position reports to the Executive Director of ORCA and will be connected to both the Academic Foundations and the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences Areas of Study.

This position requires a reflective practitioner with a commitment to closing equity gaps in student outcomes and to ensuring that all students are welcomed and valued on campus and in our classrooms. This faculty position will work with students over multiple quarters and in multiple courses over their two-year degree pathway with an emphasis on interdisciplinary undergraduate research at ORCA.

Instruction will necessarily be innovative, collaborative, and responsive to student success and feedback. Facilitating students’ growth as writers across rhetorical modes and as critical readers of written and spoken text will be central in a range of courses, from humanities to composition to literature, with some social science as relevant and applicable. Teaching advanced composition will include integration of students' oceanographic and marine biology research.

Full-time faculty at EvCC’s ORCA will also participate in our wrap‑around advising process, recruitment of new students, cross‑disciplinary meetings, whole‑school field activities, and main campus curricular development, assessment, and initiatives that advance student learning.

Examples of courses taught include:

• Humanities 125 (Negotiating Nature)
• English Composition I
• English Composition II
• American Literature III
• Future social science course based on candidate’s training and experience
