Additionally, applications are encouraged from those with interests in qualitative methods, issue-driven reporting, visual media, or cross-platform journalism; candidates with diverse training and methodological approaches; and candidates with relevant professional experience. Applicants should have earned their PhD in Journalism or a related field by August of 2012. Successful candidates will demonstrate a commitment to sustaining a vigorous program of original research and publication with potential for external funding; show promise of excellence in graduate-level teaching and mentoring (both M.A. and Ph.D.); and demonstrate the capacity and commitment to teach undergraduate journalism context courses and/or professionally-oriented journalism skills courses. Other desirable qualifications include the ability to work collaboratively within the School and College, and with scholars in other disciplines on campus and internationally. The School offers the B.J., M.A., and Ph.D. and is housed within a top-ranked College of Communication, which includes the nationally regarded Departments of Advertising & Public Relations, Radio-Television-Film, Communication Studies, and Communication Science and Disorders.
