Job Summary The College of Liberal Arts, School of Communication, invites applications for a full-time (1.00 FTE), 9-month, fixed-term, adjunct Professor of Teaching position. Reappointment is at the discretion of the School Head.

This adjunct Professor of Teaching will teach undergraduate and graduate courses in the School of Communication (primarily in the Speech Communication area). In particular the position will help the School teach basic courses in communication theory, writing-intensive courses, and upper-division courses in difference, power, and oppression.

The position will also include the capability to advise and mentor graduate students, engage with their disciplinary program in their scholarly/research work, and provide service to the Discipline, School, College and University in the form of committee work and participation in faculty meetings.

The School of Communication is comprised of the New Media Communications and Speech Communication programs. The two programs include two undergraduate on-campus degrees, an online degree in Digital Communication Arts, and a BFA. The School also includes one MA/MS program in Communication Studies.

The School of Communication features multiple research labs with support for production work in video, sound, animation, gaming, and virtual reality as well as user research. Our support for research with emerging technologies is among the strongest in the region if not the country. The School is committed to developing a cutting-edge research and teaching agenda surrounding issues of media and emerging technology. Oregon State University holds both ?very high research activity? and ?Community Engagement? classifications from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and is one of only two universities in the country with Land-, Sea-, Space- and Sun-Grant designations. Together, these designations mean we produce and share the highest quality research for the benefit of our community, state, country, and world. In addition, U.S. News & World Report named OSU among the ?Best Global Universities? (Top 2 percent in the world). OSU offers more than 200 undergraduate and 100 graduate degree programs through its 11 colleges, the Graduate School and the Honors College. In addition to its robust intellectual and research resources, OSU has a close research relationship with the Samaritan Health Services hospital system (flagship hospital located in Corvallis). Additionally, OSU is located within 1-2 hours of two other major research hubs in Eugene (University of Oregon; Oregon Research Institute; Oregon Social Learning Center) and Portland (Oregon Health and Science University; Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research), where there are additional opportunities for collaboration.

Corvallis is a great place to live, work, and play, and Forbes ranked Information technology as the number 4 best college town. The city is surrounded by nearly 30 miles of trails in OSU forests, is approximately 1.5 hours from Portland, a similar distance from the Pacific Coast, and is just 2 hours from recreation (hiking, skiing, scenic drives) in the Cascades Mountain Range.
