Chicago, Illinois, United States Roosevelt University Full time

The Humanities Department at Roosevelt University seeks to hire adjunct faculty to teach a 3-credit-hour course focused on strategies for public speaking, public presentations, and conducting meetings. Effective approaches to audience analysis, establishing speaker/presenter credibility, assembling/organizing information, and all verbal, visual, and other non-verbal aspects of delivery are addressed.

As a private, nonsectarian community of educators, scholars, and learners, Roosevelt University values differences in personal experiences and perspectives, asks difficult questions, and promotes mutual understanding, inclusion, social consciousness, and action toward social justice. We recognize that difference broadens perspectives and seek and serve a diverse, promising student body from metropolitan Chicago and around the world.

For this position, successful applicants must have the experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities required to effectively deliver instruction in the areas listed in the position summary, as well as competence in creating appropriate visuals to accompany professional-level oral presentations and other communication events. Prior post-secondary teaching experience is required, and a master's degree in a media/communications or related field is preferred. Demonstration of professional work, such as a portfolio, is also preferred.

The ideal candidate will have knowledge of and prior experience with the Blackboard Learning Management system and be able to work effectively in a team environment. The normal climate-controlled office environment is provided, and occasional bending, stooping, lifting, pushing, and/or pulling is required.
