[ecrea] New Positions open at University of Texas - Austin
Fri Sep 18 13:02:07 GMT 2009
Open Positions
The College of Communication at the University of Texas at Austin
seeks to fill three important positions to strengthen its role as
the most comprehensive programs of its kind-and one of the nation's
foremost institutions for the study of journalism, communication
studies, advertising, and radio-television-film.
Director, School of Journalism
-----------------------------------------------------
The School of Journalism is seeking a new director, with an
outstanding reputation in either the professional or academic area
of journalism. The director will provide vision and intellectual
leadership for a program and field in transition, as journalism
education adapts to these changes. Thus, a background in both the
profession and experience with university life is preferred.
Graduates of the program have won 18 Pulitzer Prizes since its
founding in 1914. The School has 850 undergraduates and 120 graduate
students in the master's and doctoral programs and offers a
comprehensive range of journalism professional training, including
programs in print, multimedia, broadcast, and photojournalism. The
School has a strong tradition of close relations with the profession
and seeks a director who will maintain and expand these ties,
working closely with the dean of the College on alumni relations and
fundraising for the School. The new director will be appointed as a
full professor with tenure and hold the G.B. Dealey Professorship.
Screening of applicants will begin November 1, 2009, and will
continue until the position is filled. Applicants should provide a
statement of interest in the position, a complete vita and at least
three references to: Prof. Tracy Dahlby, Director and Search
Committee Chair; School of Journalism; University of Texas at
Austin; 1 University Station A1000; Austin, TX 78712-0113. Faculty
posting number: 09091000001.
Senior Professor Position in Journalism
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The School of Journalism invites nominations and applications for a
senior scholar with qualifications appropriate for appointment at
the rank of tenured full professor, beginning Fall 2010. Interested
candidates who are associate professors as well as full professors
are encouraged to apply. Candidates' research interests should be
relevant to the vital issues of the day concerning journalism, the
media, and democratic society, including (1) political communication
and public opinion, (2) the changing media political economy,
professional roles, and institutional structure, and (3) impact of
the emerging new media on citizenship and the public sphere-both
nationally and globally. Successful candidates will have a Ph.D. in
a relevant academic field, a well-established program of nationally
recognized research and publication, a commitment to classroom
teaching, and record of mentoring doctoral-level graduate students.
Other desirable qualifications include the ability to work
collaboratively within the School and College, but also with
scholars in other disciplines on campus and internationally.
Screening of applicants will begin October 15, 2009, and will
continue until the position is filled. Send vita, names and contact
information of three references, and a statement of interest in the
position to: Prof. Maxwell McCombs, Search Committee Chair; School
of Journalism; University of Texas at Austin; 1 University Station
A1000; Austin, TX 78712-0113. Faculty posting number 09052700001.
Director, Texas Program in Sports & Media
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The College seeks a leader for a newly developed Sports and Media
Program, intended to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and research
on sports, media and culture. The program will build on existing
College strengths in entertainment studies, film, television, new
media format, and journalism. One of the nation's best athletic
programs at the University of Texas as well as nearby professional
sports franchises provide valuable potential partnerships for the program.
The Director will teach one or two courses a year in the general
area of sports and media with a concurrent appointment as senior
lecturer, oversee a small administrative staff, and help build a
program endowment. Oversee development of an Olympic archive,
organize an annual symposium on sports and public policy, and
provide long-term planning for the Program. Work with faculty
members in the College and across campus, generate local and
national publicity for the program, and serve as its main ambassador
and fund-raiser.
Required: Bachelor's degree. Ten years of experience in the general
area of sports and media. Applicants must have a broad vision of the
intersection of sports and media in society, well-established
relationships with media personnel, and in-depth knowledge of
intercollegiate and professional sports. Equivalent combination of
relevant education and experience may be substituted as appropriate.
Preferred: Master's degree. More than 10 years of experience in the
general area of sports and media. Experience with start-up
operations including concept-design, budgetary oversight, and
employee supervision.
Screening of applicants will begin November 16, 2009, and will
continue until the position is filled. Go to
