>>	The Department of Speech Communication, University of
>>Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, seeks one or more full-time,
>>tenure-track faculty members, rank open.  Senior candidates should
>>have distinguished records of research and teaching appropriate to
>>tenured appointment as professor or associate professor.
>>Candidates for appointment as assistant professor should have or be
>>near to completing the Ph.D. by the August 21, 2002, starting date.
>>Junior candidates may be appointed as lecturer for one year while
>>completing degree requirements.  Salary will be contingent on
>>qualifications and experience; for a new Ph.D. with outstanding
>>qualifications, starting salary is expected to be $50,000.
>>
>>	We seek outstanding candidates whose specialized interests
>>complement those of our current faculty in any area of
>>communication research including public and mass communication,
>>organizational and group communication, communication technology,
>>political communication, and communication and culture.
>>
>>	One area of special interest is health communication,
>>especially the study of health promotion campaigns.  This program
>>area is home to ongoing sponsored research projects and is
>>expanding rapidly with new investments.  A campaign-focused
>>colleague would complement our existing strengths in the
>>interpersonal, relational, social support, organizational, and

>>connect this program to our efforts in public and mass
>>communication.
>>
>>	A second area of special interest is the social effects of
>>mass communication.  Current faculty in this area pursue a range of
>>approaches, including social-cognitive and developmental studies of
>>media effects, and connect with faculty in the related
>>media-focused area of political communication.  This area also is
>>targeted for expansion with new investments.
>>
>>	Candidates must have or show clear promise of developing a
>>distinguished record of undergraduate and graduate teaching and
>>research.  In addition, candidates must work effectively with
>>departmental colleagues having varied disciplinary backgrounds in
>>an expanding unit of more than 20 current graduate faculty that
>>supports large undergraduate and masterís programs as well as one
>>of the nationís oldest and most distinguished doctoral programs.
>>
>>	To ensure full consideration, applications must be received
>>by October 19, 2001.   However, applications will be accepted until
>>the positions are filled.  Applicants should submit a letter of
>>application, curriculum vitae, samples of scholarly work, and
>>evidence of teaching effectiveness to the following address.
