    Lecturer Doctoral Schedule- Communication Studies

    FACULTY VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT

    "At Baruch College we believe that student success is everyone’s responsibility”

    The Department of Communication Studies invites applications for the position of Lecturer, Doctoral Schedule, beginning in August of 2026. Lecturer faculty are considered “master teachers” who occupy full-time faculty lines focused almost entirely on teaching with service commitments befitting a full-time faculty member, but no research requirements. In their fifth year, lecturers are eligible for promotion to a Certificate of Continuous Employment (tenure-like status based on teaching excellence and dedicated service). Accordingly, the individual filling this position will be required to teach 12 hours (normally 4 classes) per semester, at least 9 hours (or 3 classes) of which must be drawn from the pool of our three basic communication courses: Speech Communication (COM 1010); Introduction to Business Communication (COM 2020); and Professional Speech Communication (COM 3021). The remaining course may be drawn from any of the undergraduate or graduate courses offered by the department (consistent with departmental needs). Service may include serving on committees and contributing to projects and programs, particularly those related to teaching and learning. In addition, we are particularly interested in a faculty member who could administer a debate program, including coaching students and organizing a student-facing public debate every semester at Baruch College.

Baruch College has a pluralistically diverse student body of more than 20,000 individuals, many of whom are the first in their family to attend college. We seek faculty who thrive in such environments and are committed to access, excellence, and outcomes in higher education. Please see https://www.baruch.cuny.edu/
