Institution: University of Texas at Austin, Department of Communication Studies Description: The Department of Communication Studies has strong graduate and undergraduate programs, supporting faculty in research, teaching, and leadership. Graduate studies are organized into three focal areas: Interpersonal Communication; Rhetoric, Language, and Political Communication; and Organizational Communication and Technology. Faculty often collaborate on research, teach a wide range of courses, and advise approximately 75 Ph.D. and M.A. students. We welcome applicants with research and teaching expertise in organizational communication, including the study of technology. Methodological and theoretical orientations should complement and extend current work in the area, which includes networks, hybrid technological arrangements, AI and automation, crises and disasters, hidden organizations, temporality, decision making, democratic organizing, team dynamics, information processing, digitization, digital media, (in)visibility management, identity management, emergent and informal organizing, work-life balance, resilience, and wellbeing. Faculty have access to pre- and post-award external funding support and opportunities to join research centers and institutes within Moody College. We are particularly interested in candidates whose scholarship addresses social impact for the public good, potentially aligning with units such as the Center for Media Engagement, the Technology and Information Policy Institute, and the Center for Health Communication.
