Lindsey Wilson College, a United Methodist affiliated liberal arts college located in south central Kentucky, is seeking candidates for the position of Instructor or Assistant Professor of Communication beginning in January or August 2024. Located on more than 200 partially wooded acres on a hilltop in Columbia, Kentucky, LWC is in the heart of south central Kentucky, in the foothills of Appalachia.

It is also less than two hours from the cultural opportunities available in Louisville, KY and Nashville, TN.
While candidates holding a Ph.D. in Communication or a closely related field with a minimum of 18 graduate semester hours of communication coursework are preferred, ABD candidates will be considered. Candidates holding a M.A. in Communication may be considered at the rank of instructor. The successful candidate’s teaching responsibilities will include introductory and general education communication courses, but candidates with academic credentials to teach risk and crisis communication, organizational communication, and/or persuasion are encouraged to apply.
