The Ron and Jane Graham Centre, University of Saskatchewan, invites
applications for two full-time, without-term positions in *Rhetoric and
Professional Communication*, at the rank of Lecturer, to begin 1 July
2008 or shortly thereafter.
Founded in 2006, the Graham Centre is quickly becoming a national leader
in the study of human communication, and we anticipate continuing growth
in our undergraduate and graduate programming. In addition to delivering
a multi-sectioned required course in communication for undergraduates in
a variety of professional programs, the Graham Centre currently offers a
rhetorically-grounded Communication Option for undergraduates and
features a thriving graduate programme in rhetoric, offering both MA and
PhD degrees. Our innovative Master of Professional Communication degree
program is planned for launch in summer of 2009. We offer a vibrant,
dedicated intellectual community with a strong commitment to outstanding
teaching. More information can be found at our website*:

successful candidates will bring evidence of effective teaching at the
post-secondary level, preferably using a rhetorically-grounded approach.
Also desirable are experience teaching students in professional
programs; experience in team teaching; willingness to participate in
faculty mentoring initiatives; and a record of involvement in innovative
teaching/programming and its implementation.
