The University of Washington seeks a tenure track assistant professor in the area of Communication and Difference in the Department of Communication.
Candidates may focus on race, gender, class, religion, disability, economic difference, sexuality, age, and culture, or other sources of difference; the department is particularly interested in work that speaks to the intersectionality of some of these. Applicants from all epistemological traditions are encouraged, including social scientific, critical/cultural, and rhetoric.
Candidates should have interests in at least two of UW departmental areas of conceptual emphasis (for these
please see the department’s website). As such, the University expect that applicants will differ from one another in the communicative contexts they tend to study. Experience mentoring underrepresented students is highly valued for this position.
