Non-Tenure Track

Department: IU Bloomington Communication, Professional, and Computer Skills

Location:

Bloomington

Position Summary:

The Kelley School of Business at Indiana University Bloomington (IUB) invites applications for full-time, open-rank Lecturer positions in Communication Skills beginning Fall 2027. These are 10-month, non‑tenure‑track appointments with an 18‑credit‑hour annual teaching assignment. Communication Skills faculty teach core undergraduate courses in business writing and business presentations. The curriculum emphasizes audience, purpose, rhetorical situation, and the effective use of written and oral genres in professional contexts.

Faculty typically have a primary assignment in either Business Writing or Business Presentations, with the possibility of teaching both.

Business Presentations introduces students to oral communication in professional contexts through theory-based skill development. Students learn to analyze audiences, construct and deliver persuasive messages, develop oral arguments, and work effectively in teams. The course includes a team persuasive presentation addressing a real problem for a corporate client.

Business Writing develops students’ ability to produce strategic, ethical, audience-centered professional documents individually and in teams. Students analyze communication situations, makerhetorical choices across business genres, and develop recommendations for authentic professional problems. The course includes a team-based report for a corporate client.

Lecturers have both teaching and service obligations including curriculum development, pedagogical development and service to the Communication, Professional, and Computer Skills (CPCS) academic area, the Kelley School, Indiana University, and the broader community. Annual professional development funding is available for activities including conference travel, purchasing books, and research. These positions are based at the IUB campus in Bloomington, Indiana. Faculty members are expected to work on campus to fully engage with the area, school, campus, and community.

Communication, Professional, and Computer Skills (CPCS) is an integral part of the Kelley undergraduate curriculum. With more than 60 faculty, CPCS brings together instructors from a range of academic and professional backgrounds who teach courses in communication, career and professional development, and computer skills. All Kelley undergraduates complete courses offered by CPCS. CPCS faculty develop their own course materials while coordinating with colleagues teaching the same courses, providing both individual responsibility for the classroom and opportunities for curricular collaboration.

Indiana University Bloomington, IU’s flagship campus, serves more than 47,000 students in a vibrant college town, while Kelley undergraduates bring strong academic and professional engagement from across the U.S. and around the world.
