Positions and The School: In addition to responsibilities for  
teaching existing courses, there is room for development of new  
courses. We seek colleagues who are able to think outside of  
traditional boundaries and envision courses that might be attractive  
to both graduate and undergraduate students from within the major,  
and courses that speak to the interests and needs of non-majors. The  
School is committed to empirical, social-scientific research on  
communication processes, either basic or applied. Our goal is to  
develop a communication program reflecting a unique and distinct  
vision driven by intellectual curiosity and vigor. We are looking for  
colleagues who have an interest in helping us continue to build this  
kind of program at OSU. The School of Communication is a part of the  
College of Social and Behavioral Sciences and offers the B.A., M.A.  
and Ph.D. degrees. We currently have 28 full-time, tenure-track or  
tenured faculty members in the School. Our resources include a number  
of research laboratories and state-of-the-art research equipment. All  
candidates must have a Ph.D. degree in communication or related  
social science, or have a reasonable expectation of completing all  
requirements for the degree prior to August 15, 2006. Candidates  
hired for tenure-track positions must have strong research interests  
and abilities, with a demonstrated record of publication in top-tier  
journals in the field. Candidates for associate or full professor  
positions must have both strong research records reflecting  
theoretically-driven interests and an international reputation for  
interesting, high-quality research. For senior candidates, research  
grant experience is also highly desirable. To apply: Interested

they are applying, curriculum vitae, samples of research, and a list
