The Communications and Media Studies (CMS) program at Washington College seeks candidates for an Assistant Professor appointment to begin August 2019. Candidates should hold a PhD in Communication, Media Studies, or 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, 2-3 sample syllabi, teaching evaluations for the past two/three years) through our online portal at https://www.washcoll.edu/offices/human-resources/employment.php. Applications should be addressed to the CMS Search Committee. The deadline for applications is November 15th.
