Job Details
The Landmark College Professional Studies Department has an open position for a full-time Assistant Professor of Communication to start in August 2025. The successful candidate will join an interdisciplinary team of communication, media studies, and business faculty. This position is responsible for teaching undergraduate courses in communication, and it comes with the opportunity to develop new courses and programming based on experience, interests, and program need. The Professional Studies Department offers a Bachelor of Arts in Communication & Entrepreneurship and an Associate of Arts in Business.
Candidates should demonstrate a strong commitment to teaching and actively engage in departmental and college-wide initiatives. Teaching experience is essential, with preference given to those holding a terminal degree in communication or a related field; however, candidates with a master's degree and a proven teaching record will also be considered. Experience in supporting neurodiverse learners and an understanding of specific learning disabilities are highly desirable, as is a background in college-level instruction.
Landmark College is an entrepreneurial accredited college for neurodivergent students who have learning differences (e.g., dyslexia, ADHD, autism, and/or executive function challenges). We are proud to be an inclusive space for students to gain a postsecondary education in the liberal arts, sciences, and applied fields. Located within the broader tri-state cultural region of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Northwest Massachusetts, our beautiful southern Vermont campus is also within easy driving distance to several major cities like Boston and New York. If you aspire to teach in your field white making a difference in the lives of neurodivergent learners, Landmark may be the right place for you.
Qualifications:
A terminal degree (e.g. Ph.D., Ed.D.) or commensurate experience is required. Teaching experience at the college level and familiarity with neurodiversity are also desirable
Interested individuals should provide a cover letter, resume or CV, and the names of three work references. Please email your application to humanresources@landmark.edu.
Diversifying the student body, faculty, and administration is congruent with our mission. We value diverse populations and cultures including, but not limited to, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, national origin, neurodiversity, race, and religion. Landmark College is an EO/AA/Vet/Disability employer.
Company
While many colleges offer special programs for students with learning disabilities (LD) and other learning challenges, Landmark College is one of the only accredited colleges in the United States designed exclusively for students who learn differently, including students with learning disabilities (such as dyslexia), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and autism.
Landmark College’s mission is to transform the way students learn, educators teach, and the public thinks about education. We provide highly accessible approaches to learning that empower individuals who learn differently to exceed their aspirations and to achieve their greatest potential. Through the Landmark College Institute for Research and Training, the College aims to extend its mission across the nation and throughout the world.
Students at Landmark College get far more personal, directed assistance than at traditional colleges that often offer a grab bag of accommodations for students with learning disabilities, ADHD, or autism. Students at Landmark College receive individualized attention from classroom instructors—in courses tailored to meet their educational needs. This is evidenced by our exceptionally low student/faculty ratio of 6:1. Our experienced advisors meet frequently with students to review and guide their progress. In addition to advising, a wide array of other academic support is integral to a Landmark College education, including executive function coaching, educational technology support, and the services of our centers for academic support. All instructors are trained professional educators, not teaching assistants or peer tutors.
Landmark College is located in Putney, Vermont, in the southeastern part of the state. The campus is two and a half hours from Boston and four hours from New York. Southern Vermont also has a great deal to offer. Within half an hour of campus, faculty, staff and students can find amenities more often associated with an urban environment, including movie theaters, shops, restaurants, live music, art, and theater. Members of the campus community who love the outdoors will find world-class skiing, snowboarding, hiking, kayaking, and mountain biking just minutes from campus.
Our Office of Human Resources strives to ensure that we are an employer of choice, attracting and retaining uniquely talented individuals able to advance the College’s position as the college of choice for students who learn differently. We are committed to a philosophy that recognizes each person as an individual, worthy of respect, trust, dignity and fair treatment, and we apply these tenets to serve, support, and value all members of our community.
