The Faculty of Communication and Culture (used to be General Studies) is
advertising a number of positions for next year. The text of the ad is
at the end of this message.
Two positions are in "communications." CASLLers should know that we
define "Communications" very broadly. In addition to the more familiar
Communications Studies areas such as critical media theory, semiotics,
cultural studies, etc, we are hoping to attract some applications from
people who can research and teach in areas of professional
communications, including writing, esp professional writing, technical
writing, etc. We are looking for PhD-bearing researchers, though some
professional experience would be a welcome mix to the blend.
Please distribute this as widely as possible, since many qualified
people may miss the ad under "communications."
Know any recent graduates who we should be inviting to apply?
Here is the text of our official job ad:
