The University at Buffalo School of Management (www.mgt.buffalo.edu) is seeking a dynamic, qualified instructor for its Communication Literacy program. This is a non-tenure track faculty position in the rank of Clinical Assistant Professor, to begin in spring 2023.
Successful candidates are expected to refine and teach a course in business-focused communication (Communicative Literacy 2), a central component of the UB Curriculum for General Education. The aim of this course is to prepare undergraduate students to successfully communicate in written and verbal forms, across a range of genres and media, to peer, professional, and public audiences in the field; to make effective disciplinary and professional arguments; and, to produce communications individually and as part of a team. The faculty will work closely with school and department leadership in course development, improvement, and accreditation-related assessment, and will contribute to the intellectual life of the department, school, and university.
The UB Curriculum is a university-wide program of study built around intellectual discovery and integrative learning. It emphasizes critical thinking, ethical reasoning, global learning, and strong communication skills, providing the tools undergraduate students need to succeed in their professional life and to meet the responsibilities of citizenship in a diverse and interconnected world.
The University at Buffalo is invested in a diverse, equitable, and inclusive campus environment (see http://www.buffalo.edu/inclusion.html). We encourage applications from groups traditionally underrepresented in business disciplines to apply.

Impactful research, academic merit, transformative scholar experiences, and broad-ranging service to local, state, national, and international populations describe UB's calling as a leading research-intensive public university. UB was founded in 1846 as a private medical college located in downtown Buffalo and joined SUNY in 1962. Today, UB is the largest and most comprehensive public research university in the SUNY system and a prominent, global center for academic excellence. In 1990, UB was the first public university in the Northeast to be welcomed into the Association of American Universities (AAU), joining North America's other leading research universities.
UB is located in Buffalo, NY, which is located on Lake Erie, close to Niagara Falls, and a short distance from Toronto, Ontario, and other attractions, and is a city that features world-class art galleries and museums (American Style ranked Buffalo as the #1 arts destination for all mid-size cities), impressive architecture, and a wonderful series of parks and outdoor recreation areas. Buffalo is the 2nd largest city in the state of New York, has a vibrant downtown with an abundance of restaurants for every palette, and is an entertainment center. From the Michigan Street Baptist Church, a stop along the Underground Railroad, to legendary jazz history at the Colored Musicians Club and Museum, a National Historic Site, Buffalo's African-American heritage runs deep, as does its Hispanic heritage, celebrated in its Hispanic Heritage district and through annual events. Western New York is also home to nearly 1000 years of Seneca Indian history.
Buffalo is close to two significant wine growing regions-Niagara Escarpment and the Finger Lakes region. In addition, the Adirondack Mountains are half-a-day's drive from Buffalo. Rich in natural resources and beauty, the Buffalo Niagara area is a four-season region that offers the best for seasonal sports enthusiasts. These features along with the economic and cultural revitalization being experienced by the city and surrounding region and its affordability, make the region highly attractive as evidenced by Buffalo's top rankings in multiple categories as a place to live.
The University at Buffalo is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer. The University is dedicated to the goal of building a culturally diverse and pluralistic faculty and staff committed to teaching and working in a diverse environment.
