production. The faculty member will teach some of the following media

mediated relationships; cultural impacts; digital communication  
rights; web and visual theory. Including international or  
intercultural elements is desirable. Scholarly research is required.

in digital mass communication. Evidence of excellence in teaching, as  
well in scholarship or related creative work.

application, vita, recommendations, evidence of teaching  
effectiveness, and representative scholarly/professional work should  
be sent by email. Review begins Jan. 1, 2008, and continues until  
position is filled.

The Communication Department offers a liberal arts Communication  
Studies major as well as professional majors in Journalism and in  
Strategic Communications. The Communication Studies major currently  
emphasizes rhetoric and interpersonal/cross-cultural communication,  
but will be incorporating stronger digital/global media offerings. As  
part of the Jesuit mission, we help students become thoughtful,  
effective communicators with a desire for service and the promotion of  
social justice.

Seattle University, founded in 1891, continues a four hundred and  
fifty year tradition of Jesuit Catholic higher education.  The  
University’s Jesuit Catholic ideals underscore its commitment to the  
centrality of teaching, learning and scholarship, of values-based  
education grounded in the Jesuit and Catholic traditions, of service  
and social justice, of lifelong learning, and of educating the whole  
person.  Located in the heart of dynamic Seattle, the University  
enrolls approximately 7,200 undergraduate and graduate students in  
eight colleges and schools.  Students enjoy a university ethos  
characterized by small classes, individualized faculty attention, a  
strong sense of community, a commitment to diversity, and an  
outstanding faculty.
