Assistant Professor, Organizational Communication
The University of Tennessee – Knoxville: School of Communication Studies
Location: Knoxville, TN
Description: The School of Communication Studies seeks to fill an Assistant Professor of Organizational Communication tenure-track position to begin August 1, 2025.
We approach organizational communication as communication processes aimed at creating, developing, and sustaining organizations. We consider a wide variety of goal-directed collectives, not limited to workplace organizations, as organizational communication phenomena.
The School of Communication Studies focuses on organizational and interpersonal communication from a social scientific perspective. We participate in the college-wide M.S. and Ph.D. programs, with approximately 25 graduate students enrolled in the communication studies concentration. The School has over 400 undergraduate majors and enrolls more than 2,700 students per term in its courses. It houses the university's debate team and runs its own study abroad program.
The College of Communication and Information consists of four schools: Tombras School of Advertising and Public Relations, Communication Studies, Journalism and Media, and Information Sciences. The College has a collaborative, active research faculty. College faculty regularly engage in partnerships with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, governmental agencies, the University of Tennessee Extension, the University of Tennessee Medical Center, and academic departments internal and external to the university. These research activities are supported by the college's Research and Innovation Center. The College has approximately 1,200 majors and pre-majors and enrolls more than 5,800 students per semester.
Located near the beautiful Smoky Mountains, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK) was founded in 1794 and is one of the oldest public universities in the country. UTK enrolls over 30,000 students at its Knoxville campus and is Tennessee's only public Carnegie Doctoral: Highest Research Activity University.
