ONE OR MORE TENURE-TRACK POSITIONS AT THE ASSISTANT, ASSOCIATE OR FULL PROFESSORSHIP

THE SCHOOL OF COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, invites applications from scholars who value a climate of cross-departmental collaboration and interdisciplinary commitment to the development of discoveries and new ideas in response to local and global challenges. Global media and democracy, social media interaction and collaborative design, and health and wellness are school-wide initiatives recently introduced. The school embraces Rutgers' goals of diversification of its communities and programs and encourages applicants who would address these goals. The school offers six degree-granting programs of study and is home to more than 50 faculty within its three academic departments-Communication, Journalism and Media Studies, and Library and Information Science.

THE DEPARTMENT OF JOURNALISM AND MEDIA STUDIES is looking to hire in the following two areas: Global Media & Democracy and Digital Media & Society. Research foci include, but are not limited to: Social media, transmedia and convergence; New media policy; International journalism; social movement media; Gaming as social practice; Networked journalism; Community media and public culture; Global, local, and regional cultural production; Nationalism, citizenship and identity; Immigrant, indigenous, diasporic and ethnic media; Media diversity; Online environments as collaborative practice; Digital pedagogy.

SUBMISSIONS: Applications should be submitted in electronic format. Include letter of application, CV, up to three representative publications, and names and contact information of three references. The applicant's program of research should complement the research foci of current faculty. Senior level applicants should provide integrative leadership in research, instruction, and external funding. Letter of application should address these points, and clearly articulate the candidate's fit to departmental and school-wide research interests. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in hand or firmly expected by August 2010. Duties of the successful candidate, at both junior and senior rank, include departmental, school, and university assignments in teaching, scholarship, and service, consistent with university and school policy for tenure-track appointments. Submit to: http://comminfo.rutgers.edu/facultysearch no later than December 1, 2009.


The school's two other departments are also conducting faculty searches: THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATION invites applications that complement the faculty's synergies in the areas of Community, Connections, and Collaboration, which are informed by theory and research in the areas of human communication technologies, organizational communication, interpersonal communication/social interaction, and health communication. An ideal candidate has an active research program that combines two of these four department foci. THE DEPARTMENT OF LIBRARY & INFORMATION SCIENCE seeks faculty candidates who wish to take the future of information and information applications in their hands. Areas of particular interest to the department include (but are not limited to): Interaction with information at individual, social, and cultural levels; Information access in digital environments; Human computer interaction; Children, information, schools, and libraries.
