closely-related field. This is a full time, tenure track position. For 
all applicants, evidence of teaching excellence at the college level and 
a publication record are required.

Washington College, located in Chestertown, Maryland, is a selective 
liberal arts institution with dedicated, intellectually curious, and 
highly engaged students. CMS is one of the College’s newest and most 
rapidly growing programs. Grounded in a critical/cultural studies 
approach, CMS offers four robust concentration areas: Arts and 
Production, Business and Organizational Communication, Identity and 
Culture, and Film Studies. The successful candidate must have an 
integrated understanding of critical/cultural studies and their work may 
address media, technology, and the digital; critical branding studies; 
transnational media studies; political economy of the media; media 
theory and methods; or other topic broadly embedded in the social 
science of communication. The successful candidate will be flexible, 
able to meet a wide array of programmatic needs, have experience and a 
demonstrated commitment to teaching, and a strong interest in teaching 
and mentoring students in a residential, liberal arts college 
environment. Experience in curriculum development is also desirable. The 
CMS program is deeply invested in diversity of research, teaching, and 
faculty.

This position involves a 3/3 load comprised of core and elective courses 
in the program. This position will be charged with developing a roster 
of courses for the department including but not limited to Interpersonal 
Communication, Persuasion, International Communication, and 
Intercultural Communication. Other teaching responsibilities will be 
tailored to the successful candidate's specific areas of expertise. The 
successful candidate will be expected to periodically contribute to the 
college's first year seminar program.

Applicants should submit a letter of interest, curriculum vitae with 
names of three references, and a teaching portfolio (teaching statement,

through our online portal at
