Health Communication Position at UT-Austin

This came through the NCA Health Communication mailing list, so I wanted to post it here, too...

The Department of Communication Studies at the University of Texas at Austin invites applications for a senior faculty member (senior associate or full professor) to teach and conduct research on topics broadly related to interpersonal issues involved in health communication. The appointment will begin in August, 2009. The position requires a Ph.D., a record of scholarly publications and teaching experience. Applicants should be interested in doing field-based or experimental studies in areas such as adherence and more broadly influence in health-related contexts, health promotions, social support, coping, clinical decision-making, relational issues associated with health, conflict-related health issues, and doctor-patient communication. Applicants for this position should have a record of securing and completing funded research. In addition to teaching graduate seminars, the ability to teach large undergraduate lecture classes on health communication-related topics will be a plus. Applications should include curriculum vitae, copies of selected publications, and three letters of recommendation. Materials should be sent to John Daly, Search Committee Chair, University of Texas at Austin, Department of Communication Studies, 1 University Station A1105, Austin, TX 78712. The committee will begin considering candidates on September 1, 2008, and continue until a candidate is chosen. The College of Communication is committed to achieving diversity in its faculty, students, and curriculum, and it welcomes applicants who can help achieve these objectives.
