The Brian Lamb School of Communication at Purdue University invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor in Risk Communication.  We seek an engaged scholar/teacher who has interests in areas such as message planning, the assessment and effect of risk messages, judgment and decision making, strategic communication of risk, crisis management, or risk in interpersonal and/or mediated contexts. We are especially interested in candidates whose interests intersect with other areas in our School, such as health communication, interpersonal communication, organizational communication, public relations, media/technology/society, or media and politics.

 

The successful candidate will conduct research, advise graduate students, teach undergraduate and graduate level courses, and perform service.  Such a candidate will have a PhD in Communication (or related field such as psychology, management, or other social or behavioral science) and an innovative program of research. The candidate should have interests in engaging with interdisciplinary research teams or centers on campus (e.g., Regenstrief Center for Healthcare Engineering, Center for the Environment, Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security, Center for Families, and/or the Colleges of Engineering and Science). The candidate must be prepared for teaching, collaborating with, and mentoring both graduate and undergraduate students.  We seek a colleague who will develop and teach new and existing undergraduate and graduate courses in his/her areas of interest. The potential for securing extramural funding is desirable.

 

Screening of applications will begin on October 23, 2017 and will continue until the position is filled.  A background check will be required for employment in this position.  A complete application includes a letter of application, curriculum vitae, statement of research interests, evidence of teaching effectiveness, and names and contact information for three references.  Purdue University’s Brian Lamb School of Communication is committed to advancing diversity in all areas of faculty effort, including scholarship, instruction, and engagement.  Candidates should address at least one of these areas in their cover letter, indicating their past experiences, current interests or activities, and/or future goals to promote a climate that values diversity and inclusion. Send application materials electronically to Allison Loy (riskcom@purdue.edu)  Questions regarding the position or application process can also be directed to Dr. Felicia Roberts, Search Committee Chair (riskcom@purdue.edu); 765-494-3323.
