The Department of Communication has received a generous private endowment for research in alcohol and communication. As a result, we seek a colleague who will strengthen our ongoing multi-disciplinary interests in alcohol use and misuse. Our new colleague will join researchers in the Department of Communication who are also interested in alcohol research (see below), as well as contribute to a strong faculty expertise in health communication. This colleague will also join researchers from across the university who are known for research excellence in health, including Health Sciences, The Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health, and the College of Nursing.
