Position description

The Department of Communication at the University of California, Santa Barbara invites applications for a full-time Lecturer with Potential Security of Employment (LPSOE), a Teaching Professor who may earn the equivalent of tenure. The LPSOE series parallels that of the research-focused (tenure-track) faculty series but with greater emphasis upon excellence in teaching and engagement in professional activity and service related to the pedagogical mission of the program and university. Candidates should have strong skills and accomplishments in, and commitment to, teaching in a theoretical and empirical social science research-oriented program. Additional expertise in quantitative methods, media, as well as experience working with diverse groups, are also desired. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience and/or interest in directing the Department’s basic courses that are taken by prospective majors, and in training/coordinating their graduate teaching assistants.

The Department seeks a dynamic scholar with strong knowledge of communication theory and research. The successful candidate will be expected to remain familiar with the Department’s core subjects in interpersonal and intergroup communication, media and digital communication, and organizational and group communication, as well as the field of Communication generally. The LPSOE will teach 7 courses per year, across three quarters. These courses primarily include lower-division and upper-division undergraduate courses, with the possibility of a graduate seminar in a specialized area. Summer teaching opportunities for additional compensation may also be available.

The University is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through research, teaching, and service as appropriate to the position.

UCSB is ranked in the top 7 public universities in the United States, and the Department of Communication is ranked 5th in worldwide comparisons. UCSB is a designated Hispanic Serving Institution and an Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institution. It offers several programs to support incoming faculty, including housing assistance (https://www.housing.ucsb.edu/faculty-staff/faculty-housing ) and various grant support programs.
