The Communication Department at Denison University is seeking a tenure-track assistant professor specializing in rhetorical studies. Successful candidates will contribute to expanding and deepening our rhetoric curriculum, offering courses concerned with the history of rhetoric, deliberative democracy, and/or ethical perspectives on rhetorical theory and performance. Candidates must also be able to teach at least one of the core courses in the department (COMM 280: Theorizing Communication and COMM 290: Research in Communication) and courses that support the University's commitment to Oral Communication across the Curriculum. Our program's commitment to the study of Communication in a liberal arts setting hinges on understanding the symbolic dynamics at play in the intersection of communication and power, culture, history, relationship(s), economics, politics, textual genres, and media. We equip students with critical thinking skills that prepare them to read and understand with nuance and attention to context, to problem solve with creativity, to research with rigor and passion for seeking truth, and to listen with an open mind and awareness of differences. We cultivate in students a love of knowledge, an understanding of how our collective meaning-making builds our worlds, and a curiosity for crafting yet-to-be-imagined realities. The preferred candidate's record of teaching will signal a colleague reflective about their teaching and committed to growing as an instructor. We seek someone to meaningfully equip, challenge, and inspire students to engage some of the most compelling questions of our current moment and to see anew the traditions that have informed the study and practice of rhetoric. Candidates demonstrating sustained investment in deep learning and genuine student engagement will be given serious consideration. Additionally, candidates should be invested in collaborating with the department and the University to consider and refine potential opportunities for public deliberation, dialogue, and inquiry across different intellectual perspectives. The teaching load for tenure-track faculty is 3/2, making Denison a supportive environment for teacher-scholars who value classroom, research excellence, and service. Our new colleague will contribute to our Department's pluralistic approaches to the study of communication, pursue teaching excellence in a rigorous undergraduate liberal arts curriculum in Communication, develop a program of research leading to peer-reviewed publication, and reflect strong commitments to departmental citizenship and university governance. Denison is a highly selective, fully residential liberal arts college enrolling approximately 2,400 students from diverse backgrounds across the nation and around the world. The college is located in the village of Granville and is part of the growing and thriving Columbus metropolitan region. Granville offers an excellent public school system and easy access to outdoor activities. Denison is committed to attracting and supporting an academically and culturally diverse faculty and is committed to providing a work and learning environment free from discrimination. Denison offers extensive support for its faculty, including an annual professional development account, competitive professional development funding, and a one-semester research leave after a successful pre-tenure review. The college also offers opportunities for student-faculty research collaboration, stipends for supervising summer-research students, and a range of workshops and mentoring programs to develop our strengths as teacher-scholars. Denison offers a competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package, including tuition benefits to attend Denison or other affiliated colleges and a generous retirement contribution. Qualified candidates will have a PhD in Communication or related field and demonstrated experience teaching rhetoric. A PhD must be in hand when the appointment begins on August 15, 2026; preference will be given to PhDs in Communication.

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering in the Washkewicz College of Engineering at Cleveland State University (CSU) invites applications for appointment as Chair and Professor of the Department beginning July 1, 2026. The Department is searching for a forward-thinking leader capable of cementing and further enhancing its stature as an authority in research, scholarship, and education. As a key member of the Washkewicz College of Engineering (WCE) leadership team, the Chair will champion the department's interests to the university leadership and external partners, while providing strong guidance in fulfilling and executing its mission. The ideal candidate will support all the department's subdisciplines and promote excellence in research, teaching, mentorship, and service; deepen relationships within and beyond the university; encourage innovation and industry engagement across all disciplines; drive the expansion of both undergraduate and graduate programs; and nurture a culture of collaboration and mutual support within the department. Birthplace to the Order of the Engineer, the Washkewicz College of Engineering (WCE) is home to 6 departments and several distinct undergraduate and graduate programs. The Civil and Environmental Engineering department's areas include Structural Engineering and Materials, Construction Engineering and Management, Geotechnical Engineering, Environmental Engineering and Water Resources Engineering, and Transportation Engineering. Notably, the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at CSU houses two undergraduate programs - a well-established Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering program (BSCE) that started with the launch of WCE as Fenn College in 1923 and graduated generations of capable professionals in the field; and a very promising new Bachelor of Science in Construction Management (BSCM) that was industry demanded and funded in 2024. The new Bachelor's in Science program in Construction Management was launched with a Digital Construction focus that integrates cutting-edge techniques and technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), automation and modular construction, and data analytics to prepare students for the future of the industry. In addition, to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering offered within the department, the Washkewicz College of Engineering is planning an expansion of our offerings with a proposed multidisciplinary master's in Program and Project Management, designed to develop industry leaders who can navigate complex, large-scale capital projects. The establishment of the dynamic academic program in Construction and Project Management were done in tandem with an industry focused Project Delivery Institute that works synergistically with local and national industry partners to bridge the industry academic gap and transfer knowledge via well-established collaborative platforms to enhance the precompetitive collaboration in capital intensive projects.
