The Department of Communication at Texas A&M University invites 
applications for an Assistant/Associate Professor (Tenured/Tenure-Track) 
with a full-time, 9-month academic appointment starting September 1, 
2020.  We are seeking mid-career applicants with the promise of national 
and/or international prominence who complement the department’s existing 
areas of strength. We are especially interested in candidates with a 
record of enhancing a university’s climate of inclusion through research 
and/or teaching expertise. A successful candidate’s areas of 
specialization may include (but are not limited to): 
colonialism/postcolonialism/decolonialization; critical race/gender 
studies; border studies; social inequality; community engagement and 
intervention; health disparity; workplace diversity; LatinX studies; 
diasporic communities; intersectionality; transnationalism; queer 
studies; and/or Africana/Black studies.
Texas A&M Communication faculty are situated within critical, social 
scientific, and humanistic research traditions, and they engage in 
intra-disciplinary and interdisciplinary collaborations. We seek a 
colleague with a similar commitment to the value of epistemological 
diversity who will work to enhance the department’s research profile and 
its commitment to undergraduate and graduate education. We offer our 
future colleague the opportunity to pursue a number of excellent 
opportunities for interdisciplinary research and collaboration across 
the department and with units across the university, including: Africana 
Studies, Women’s & Gender Studies, Latin and Mexican American Studies, 
Center of Digital Humanities, etc.
The department offers PhD, MA, BA, and BS degrees, and has 44 faculty 
members, more than 40 graduate students, and over 1,500 undergraduate 
students. Further information regarding the department is available at 
http://comm.tamu.edu. The Department of Communication embraces the 
development of a socially and culturally diverse intellectual community. 
We promote the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion in our work 
and community, and we welcome candidates whose research, teaching, and 
service demonstrate a shared commitment to these values. Moreover, we 
would particularly welcome candidates from diverse backgrounds and 
groups that are historically underrepresented in our field.

Review of applications will begin on November 11, 2019 and will continue 
until the position is filled.  A PhD or other doctoral degree is 
required in communication or a related field. We are particularly 
interested in candidates who will contribute to the department through 
excellence in teaching, research, and service. Interested candidates 
should send: (1) a letter of application, (2) curriculum vitae, (3) 
evidence of teaching effectiveness, (4) no more than two publications, 
and (5) names and contact information for three references.  In 
addition, we request that candidates submit a Diversity, Equity, and 
Inclusion (DEI) statement (maximum 1 page) that offers evidence of 
demonstrated commitment in the areas of diversity and inclusion as it 
applies to their research, teaching, and/or service.  Candidates should 
also identify how they would work to foster diversity and inclusion in 
the Department of Communication.  Please use the following Interfolio
