Cedar Crest College

Assistant Professor of Communication

Cedar Crest College—a women’s college in Allentown, PA—invites applicants for the position of Assistant Professor of Communication who are able to teach and develop courses in digital-media content creation. The renewable (non-tenure track) position will contribute to the major in Communication with its focus on media literacy, production, and advocacy, as well as teach courses that serve our undergraduate Liberal Arts Curriculum. Of particular interest is the ability to teach in one or more of the following areas: digital production, digital marketing, and social-media marketing.  The position emphasizes digital media creation and its application to business with a mission-centered interest in the role of digital technologies to create positive social change and media studies, as well as an interest in the use of Artificial Intelligence in content creation and AI’s social and cultural impacts. The Communication program is part of the new Narrows Communications and Humanities Center, a digital maker-space, and this position will hold service responsibilities that are integral to a broader institutional commitment to developing the instructional role of technology on campus and incorporating digital communication technologies across academic disciplines. The position thus offers a unique opportunity for the advancement of digital media and technology education at the College, both for the Communication and other academic departments.

We seek a faculty member who has a passion for diversity and is prepared to teach our students, engage their curiosity, and inspire their persistence toward achieving successful careers and thoughtful, meaningful lives. The majority of Cedar Crest’s students – nearly ninety percent – are women. More than one-third are students of color, and over forty percent are first-generation college students; they are diverse in gender, sexuality, ability, and religion. Our student population also includes learners from across the United States and abroad.

We seek a colleague who brings creative energy to program development, including expanding course offerings, and to recruitment activities. We expect our new colleague to join us in being an active presence on campus for our diverse student population.

The position entails 24 credits of teaching per academic year, including offering online and evening courses as needed in the program schedule. The faculty member will be responsible for academic advising, supporting new curricular offerings, assisting with Communication clubs and honor societies, and serving on department and College-wide committees.

Cedar Crest faculty have the opportunity to teach in unique college-wide programs including the First Year Seminar, the Carmen Twillie Ambar Sophomore Year Expedition (which provides students with a built-in study-abroad experience at no added cost to them), and the Honors Program.

Qualified candidates will have, or be close to completing, a doctorate in Communication or a related field, evidence of successful teaching experience, and a commitment to engage in scholarly activities in keeping with the Boyer Model of Scholarship.

• Writing samples or portfolio of pertinent scholarly or practitioner activities
• Three letters of reference

Applications will be accepted until the position is filled; applications received before 10/18/2024will receive priority consideration. The position’s expected start date shall be with the 2025-2026 academic year, or earlier depending upon the successful candidate’s availability.
