graduate courses, and perform professional service commensurate with rank.

We welcome applicants from a range of theoretical and methodological approaches who
study either formal or informal organizations, or the process of organizing more

technological change, virtual worlds, or organizing processes in healthcare or the
creative industries.  Potential to attract external funding is expected.  The
position includes the opportunity to teach in a professional master’s degree
program.

The Department of Communication Studies supports a popular undergraduate major and
graduate programs in Media, Technology, and Society, Interaction and Social
Influence, and Rhetoric and Public Culture, as well as the interdisciplinary Ph.D.
program in Technology and Social Behavior.  Through special resources for research
support and scholarly event programming, the department is able to offer rich
opportunities for scholarly development.  School of Communication faculty also can
