Hi! There have been bunch notes out on the list recruiting faculty. I joined the faculty at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut earlier this year. I was looking for an opportunity to move from an Research 1 to a school that balances research with a dedication to teaching. Admittedly, I've only been here for a little while, but I've been very impressed with what I've seen. We have a great group of students, and despite being a large "small" school (we have the largest undergraduate program in the state, I believe), class sizes remain small, and support of faculty for teaching and research is excellent. Perhaps best of all, there is a strong entrepreneurial spirit on the campus, and the university is attracting some outstanding faculty. I suspect that if you haven't heard of Quinnipiac in the past, that will be changing. The School of Communication is hiring four tenure-track faculty this year, and will be continuing to add faculty in the coming years. We are looking for someone who can mix an online media production background with strong theory and research and teach in our MS in Interactive Communication. In particular, if you work in social computing it would be great to have you up here. Please don't hesitate to drop me a note, and I am happy to respond to any questions candidly. Thanks, Alex ---- Assistant or Associate Professor INTERACTIVE COMMUNICATION The Quinnipiac University School of Communications seeks a full-time, tenure track assistant or associate professor in interactive communications to start August 2007.
