> ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF ORGANIZATIONAL COMMUNICATION AND NEW MEDIA
> THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN
>
> The Department of Communication at the University of Texas at Austin invites > applications for an Assistant Professor of Organizational Communication, with > an emphasis in new media, to begin September 1, 2011. The Department consists
> of three main areas, including Rhetoric and Language, Interpersonal
> Communication, and Organizational Communication. The organizational
> communication group, presently consisting of five faculty, is positioned at
> the frontier of ways of
> organizing work and other activities in today's world and includes as a major
> emphasis the ways technology has transformed knowledge, identities,
> relationships, boundaries, participation, the punctuation of life; and in many
> cases has recast work itself.  Digital technologies are viewed not only as
> media in the traditional sense but also problems for attention in
> non-technical as well as technical ways.  For example, new communication
> technologies extend but also limit abilities; may be seen as ethically neutral
> or loaded; and can inhibit as well as foster the coordination of tasks.  We
> are seeking an outstanding applicant who is committed to deepening students'
> and
> the discipline's critical understanding of how we conduct, experience and
> (literally and figuratively) "read" varied forms of organizing today, in
> discrete work or organizational settings and in informal as well as formal
> networks. In this way, we are employing the term "organizational literacy" for
> the new faculty position.
>
> The strongest applicants will be adept at working at the intersections of
> different areas of the communication field, be attuned to multidisciplinary
> approaches to relevant questions, and be open to multiple theoretical and
> methodological perspectives on research. Superior applicants will have records > of excellence in teaching and research, with promise of creative combinations > of pedagogy and scholarly investigation in the future. Willingness to pursue > external funding is highly desired. For the applicant hired, 50% of her or his
> undergraduate teaching assignment will consist of web-based courses in
> organizational communication literacy, with other responsibilities devoted to
> courses in related areas of the graduate and undergraduate curricula.
>
> Interested applicants are invited to send a letter of interest,
> curriculum vitae, a list of at least three references, and supporting
> materials regarding teaching, research and service to: The University of Texas > at Austin, Organizational Communication Search Committee Chair, Department of
