<x-tab> </x-tab>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.<br>
<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>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. <br>
<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>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
persuasion dimensions of health communication and potentially would
connect this program to our efforts in public and mass
communication.<br>
<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>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.<br>
<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>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.<br>
<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>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,<i> curriculum
vitae</i>, samples of scholarly work, and evidence of teaching
effectiveness to the following address. Applicants also should
have three letters of recommendation sent directly to the chair of the
search committee: Barbara J. Wilson; Department of Speech
Communication; University of Illinois; 702 S. Wright St., Rm. 244;
Urbana, IL 61801. Telephone: (217) 333-2683.
