Clarkson University invites applications and/or nominations for a new
position, the Director of the Center for Excellence in Communication
(CEC). The CEC will be housed in Clarkson's new academic building and will
be a key campus resource for improving the educational process through the
use of electronic technology and media. The CEC will provide a support
center, laboratory, and incubator in which innovative instructional
practices can be explored, developed, and evaluated. The Director will
also be a key figure in developing a communication across the curriculum
program aimed at developing and refining exceptional communication
abilities in Clarkson students. The university seeks a teacher and scholar
with an active research agenda in electronic communication, as well as
successful administrative experience.
The successful candidate for this position will possess an earned

Communications and has plans to offer a Master's degree in Electronic
Communication and Rhetoric.
Duties of the Director will include:
- managing the CEC's professional staff;
- developing plans and procedures for incorporating various types of
tutorial support and tutor training (electronic and asynchronous, as
well as synchronous and face-to-face) that will be provided by the CEC;
- assisting and facilitating curricular development on campus, both
within TC and in collaboration with other university departments;
- conducting research on electronic communication;
- contributing to Technical Communications' instructional needs by
teaching 2-3 classes per academic year; and,
- taking a leadership role in attracting external funds and establishing
and maintaining corporate contacts as a means of supporting and
promoting the central missions of the CEC.
Candidates with WAC or CAC experience and/or TA development are
encouraged to apply. The review process will begin on November 15, 1999
and continue until a successful candidate is found. Applicants should
