Job Description

The Communications Program at Ave Maria University seeks an Assistant Professor to teach a range of technical courses that will complement the programs current offerings in communication studies, rhetoric, and writing. Candidates with terminal degrees are encouraged to apply (i.e., MFA, MBA, PhD).

Candidates should be willing to teach Audiovisual Productions (COMM 350), an introductory technical course that all Communications majors must take. For those without extensive experience in Audiovisual Productions, a willingness to learn and can-do attitude may suffice.

Candidates should also be capable of instructing students in one or more of the following areas:

  1. Media Production (advanced audiovisual productions, podcasting, animation, illustration, photography, cinematography, editing, podcasting, social/digital media production, broadcast journalism)
  2. Writing for media (screenwriting, audio drama, video games, graphic novels)
  3. Performance (screen acting, voice acting, public speaking)

The ability to teach in the Communications and Literature Departments Rhetoric & Poetics (RETP) courses, which cover the rhetorical and literary tradition from antiquity onwards and which instruct students in writing and speaking, will be considered favorably.

All candidates should be excited to develop communication courses for a program rooted in the rhetorical tradition and the Catholic intellectual, spiritual, and social traditions. Successful candidates will seek to embody the Communications and Literature Departments mission of uniting argument, storytelling, and cultural analysis. Appointment begins Fall 2026.
