Assistant Teaching Professor (official state title: Clinical Assistant Professor) for the Fall 2023 term. The position is for an initial three-year term (with the possibility of renewal) in a non-tenure track position.
The teaching load for this position is 8 courses per academic year (distributed as 5/3 or 4/4) with likely 2 preps per semester.

For example, seminars could be designed around the topics of social media, persuasion, interpersonal communication, health communication, intercultural communication, or other communication topics.
Candidates should hold an earned doctorate in COM (or related field). Assistant Teaching Professors have instruction as their primary responsibility, but may also participate in service at the department, university and discipline levels.
