[ecrea] Job Call: Rollins College Tenure Track, Strategic Communication

Hi all, please see our job call below (or here 
<http://jobs.rollins.edu/cw/en-us/job/492625/assistant-professor-strategic-communication>). 
While this says Strategic Communication, please note that critical 
approaches to PR, advertising, marketing, etc are all welcome as well as 
more traditional aspects of the field. We'd like people to be able to 
teach in both, but our department is largely focused on community, non 
profit, and social enterprise work. Thanks!

The Department of Communication at Rollins College invites applications 
for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in strategic 
communication, beginning August 2018. Area of specialization is open, 
with a preference for candidates who can contribute expertise focusing 
on public relations, advertising, and integrated marketing 
communications, with additional specializations in global/intercultural 
communication and social engagement (e.g., service learning, PAR, social 
entrepreneurship).

Candidates who can contribute to our concentrations in public relations, 
organizational communication and leadership, and/or health communication 
are particularly encouraged to apply. Please see our department website 
at http://www.rollins.edu/communication 
<http://www.rollins.edu/communication>, as well as our Center for 
Leadership and Community Engagement 
(http://www.rollins.edu/leadership-community-engagement 
<http://www.rollins.edu/leadership-community-engagement>) and our Social 
Innovation and Entrepreneurship Hub 
(http://www.rollins.edu/social-innovation-and-entrepreneurship-hub 
<http://www.rollins.edu/social-innovation-and-entrepreneurship-hub>) for 
additional information.

The successful candidate will teach a regular load of six courses per 
year. This includes a range of courses for majors and non-majors in the 
candidate’s areas of interest, a survey course (COM100: Introduction to 
Communication Studies), a research methods course, and courses for the 
College general education 
(http://www.rollins.edu/rollins-foundations-liberal-arts 
<http://www.rollins.edu/rollins-foundations-liberal-arts>) and 
first-year experience 
(http://www.rollins.edu/residential-life-explorations/explorations/your-first-semester.html 
<http://www.rollins.edu/residential-life-explorations/explorations/your-first-semester.html>) 
programs. Course releases are granted in the first year and midcourse 
review year to facilitate the process towards tenure. Candidates should 
be able to contribute to the mission of the department, which emphasizes 
the creation of dynamic communicators who think critically and speak, 
listen, and write effectively.

A Ph.D. in communication at the time of appointment is preferred; A.B.D. 
considered. The successful candidate must be committed to excellent 
undergraduate teaching and maintain an active program of research and 
publication.

Through its mission to create global citizens, Rollins College is firmly 
committed to creating a just community that embraces diversity and 
inclusion; persons from historically under-represented minority groups 
are encouraged to apply. All candidates should be prepared to address 
(in the online application and throughout the interview process) their 
ability to contribute to and sustain a diverse and inclusive environment 
through teaching, scholarship, and service.

The Department of Communication is a highly collegial team that 
emphasizes innovative and quality teaching in small classes in both the 
traditional College of Liberal Arts and our evening Hamilton Holt 
School. Rollins College is a comprehensive, selective liberal arts 
college located on a campus consistently ranked as one of the most 
beautiful in the country (and is within proximity to two national parks 
and two coastlines). Located just north of Orlando, FL, a rapidly 
growing and diverse metropolitan community with a thriving economic and 
cultural scene and easy access to U.S. and international destinations, 
Rollins ranks number one among 121 Southern master’s-level universities 
in the annual rankings of “America’s Best Colleges,” released by U.S. 
News & World Report. We are committed to diversity and inclusion at all 
levels of the institution, including through benefits to same sex and 
domestic partners.
