The successful candidate will specialize in the study of new and developing forms of organizing at the intersection of communication, technology, and social systems, which may include remote and distributed work, innovation and organizational change, collective action, knowledge and learning, and interactions that occur in a variety of traditional and emerging contexts, such as non-profit and governmental agencies, corporations and societal institutions, and cross-sector partnerships.

We seek a scholar with expertise in organizational communication who complements the department’s three core areas i.e., organizational and group communication, media and digital communication, and interpersonal and intergroup communication as well as enhances its national and / or international visibility in the study of organizing in the contemporary era.
