Job Announcement: Writing Tutor Centre for Writing and Communication (CWC) Ashoka University The Centre for Writing and Communication (CWC) at Ashoka University (www. ashoka. edu. in) is looking for full- time tutors in academic writing for its undergraduate and postgraduate students. The liberal arts education offered at Ashoka University inculcates critical thinking skills and recognises that these are inextricably linked to the practice and art of effective academic writing. A flagship facility in India, the CWC helps students learn how to think analytically and innovatively and write cogently and lucidly. The focus is on writing as a way of critical thinking and not merely knowledge of grammar. At the CWC, a team of tutors from diverse disciplinary backgrounds and expertise in teaching, writing, and editing aid students in writing an academic paper. This involves providing support during all stages of writing, from structuring an argument to revising a final draft. To this end, the CWC conducts one- on- one tutorials, group sessions, or larger workshops that are designed in consultation with faculty and tailored to specific pedagogic, disciplinary, and student needs. Duration: 2 semesters, August/ September 2017 May 2018 (9 months) Salary: Rs. 50, 000 per month Duties: As a CWC Writing Tutor, you are required to conduct one- on- one sessions with students, participate in or lead group sessions, and participate in or lead larger student workshops addressing various aspects of academic writing at the undergraduate level.

CWC is also involved in the undergraduate admissions process and the tutors duties involve evaluating the on- the- spot essays. Participate in and contribute to the daily administrative work and ongoing programmatic development of the CWC: documentation, recordkeeping, and data management; resource development and maintenance (workshop modules, presentations, handouts, resource library); planning and organising special programmes; outreach to and liaising with students, faculty, and administration; participating in staff meetings and training; and miscellaneous tasks associated with working in a young and evolving writing centre. http: / / www. ashoka. edu. in/ Working hours: 5 days a week: Monday Friday.
