[Commlist] Open Rank Job in Interpersonal Communication, University of Texas-Austin (U.S.)

*Open-Rank, Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Interpersonal Communication 
at the University of Texas at Austin (U.S.)*

The Department of Communication Studies at the University of Texas at 
Austin invites applications for an open rank, full-time, tenure-track 
faculty member interested in teaching and research on topics broadly 
related to interpersonal communication. The appointment will begin in 
August, 2021. Applicants must have completed a Ph.D. at the time of the

We define interpersonal communication broadly and welcome a diversity of

particularly interested in those whose research focuses on topics such 
as health disparities and health equity, intercultural or interracial 
communication, bias, marginalized identities (LGBTQ+, Latinx, Black, 
and/or Indigenous identities), conflict and negotiation (e.g., dispute 
resolution, crisis management, bullying), social influence, nonverbal 
communication, and/or technology and relationships (e.g., 
technologically-mediated communication, virtual relationships, 
artificial intelligence and interpersonal communication). In addition to 
teaching graduate seminars, the ability to teach large undergraduate 
lecture classes and web-based courses on interpersonal communication 
topics is preferred.

Interested applicants should submit a letter of interest, current 
curriculum vitae, links to or copies of three representative 
publications, evidence of teaching effectiveness, and the names of at 
least three individuals to contact for letters of recommendation. Three 
confidential letters of recommendation will be requested of finalists. 
Applicants are also required to submit a separate diversity statement, 
addressing their commitment to inclusivity and support for diverse 
populations, along with information on their past contributions to this 
work and their future plans in these areas.

The Department of Communication Studies and the Moody College of

students, and curricula, and we welcome applicants who can help achieve 
these objectives. For more information, please see:
