Yes. If you are an at-will employee, the employer can change your job duties, position, even your pay, without your consent. Your option is that you can always leave the employer if you are not happy with the changes.

If you have an employment contract, the answer could be different. That is, if you have a contract paying you X per year to do Y job, then the employer may have to keep you in Y job.

The answer could also be different if there was some discriminatory reason for the changes, such as you being chosen for a change due to your gender, race, disability, etc.
