Xavier has a strong commitment to diversity and seeks a broad spectrum of candidates who are equally committed to fostering and engaging with a diversity of ideas and experiences and to creating an inclusive environment in the classroom and university setting.

Our new colleague’s primary responsibilities will be teaching undergraduate courses in advanced creative strategies, fundamentals of advertising copy and design, digital content design, and other courses based upon candidate expertise and department need. The ideal candidate will also be able to support the integration of creative strategies into other department majors and classes. The ability to utilize Adobe Creative Cloud or other design software in their classes is desired. Our new colleague will teach 4 courses each semester and participate in modest departmental service.

The successful candidate will join Xavier faculty in the 500-year-old Jesuit Catholic tradition of academic excellence in the liberal arts serving a diverse population of students. Xavier’s urban location in Cincinnati allows faculty to work with community partners to develop engaged learning and internship opportunities. Xavier is a member of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities as well as the Big East. U.S. News and World Report has ranked the University 20 years in a row among the top 10 Midwest colleges and universities.
