Lecturer - Communication Studies

Job Title:

Baruch College – Lecturer – Communication Studies

Job Description:

The Department of Communication Studies at Baruch College invites applications for a lecturer position beginning in August of 2022. The ideal candidate will have a specialization in corporate communication and be able to teach undergraduate and Master's level courses in organizational and managerial communication, executive communication, public relations, digital communication, and other areas commensurate with his or her particular expertise. The ideal candidate will also have the ability to direct thesis and capstone projects in the department's Master's program in Corporate Communication, and to enhance the department's ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion.

Because this position is offered at the Lecturer level, it is subject to annual review for five years. Reviews focus primarily on the quality of the instructor's teaching and contributions to service. After the fifth consecutive successful annual review the lecturer is granted a Certificate of Continuous Employment which affords him or her permanent employment at the college without the requirement of further review.

Baruch College, located in the historic Gramercy Park neighborhood of Manhattan, is a senior college in the City University of New York, with roughly 15,000 undergraduate and 3,000 graduate students enrolled in three schools: the Lawrence Zicklin School of Business; the Mildred and George Weissman School of Arts and Sciences; and the Austin W. Marxe School of Public and International Affairs. The Department of Communication Studies, located in the Weissman School of Arts and Sciences, offers the basic public speaking course (required of almost all undergraduates in the College), as well as two undergraduate majors: one in Corporate Communication, which is the fourth largest major in the college; and one in Communication Studies, which is now five years old and is currently the fastest growing major in the college. The Department also offers an undergraduate minor in Communication Studies, which is one of the largest minors in the College. In addition to its undergraduate offerings, the Department also offers a Master's degree in Corporate Communication, with an enrollment of approximately sixty students.
