The Cornell SC Johnson College of Business invites applicants for a full-time Lecturer position for a three year renewable appointment in our Marketing and Management Communication area, for placement in the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, with an intended start date of July 1, 2020. The position will be based in Ithaca, NY. Renewal is contingent upon performance reviews, the ongoing need for the position, and the availability of funding.

Responsibilities of the position include teaching AEM 2700 Management Communication, the required core course. Lecturers teach five classes each academic year, train and supervise Teaching Assistants, and hold regular office hours to discuss students' papers and presentations. Being accessible to students is critical. Lecturers collaborate extensively on curriculum development, student assignments, School projects, and, at times, research projects. Dyson supports communication skill development throughout the curriculum; other opportunities related to this position may include work with writing intensive courses and/or the capstone project, called Grand Challenges, as scheduling allows. Additional teaching opportunities across the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business are possible.

In addition to teaching responsibilities, lecturers have school and college service responsibilities and are expected to pursue professional development activities, such as presenting at business-communication discipline conferences. The college supports such activities with professional development funds.

Job Qualifications:

• Discipline-related master’s degree or Ph.D., preferably from a professional communication program or in a complementary or related field.
• Experience and skill in teaching in professional contexts and willingness to teach both written and oral communication.
• Demonstrated experience and interest in collaborating with colleagues.
• Direct engagement with the business communication discipline—through, for example, presenting at business, technical, or professional communication conferences—is an advantage, as is business knowledge and work experience in communication, leadership, or a related area.
