[ecrea] Visiting Faculty in Advertising/Branded Digital Communications at San Diego State

Visiting Faculty in Advertising/Branded Digital Communications School of 
Journalism and Media Studies | San Diego State University

The School of Journalism and Media Studies at San Diego State University 
invites applications for a full-time, two- year, visiting faculty 
position in advertising/branded digital communications 
(non-tenure-track), at the level of assistant professor or lecturer, to 
start August 2015.

Responsibilities: The successful candidate will be able to teach across 
the undergraduate advertising curriculum, including both skills-based 
and theory courses, as well as graduate seminars in an 
advertising-related area. The visiting faculty member is expected to 
have a scholarly research agenda in advertising and/or branded digital 
communications (broadly defined) and also provide service to the School 
and professional advertising communities.

Required Qualifications: Candidates should have a demonstrated 
commitment to excellence in both teaching and research, in line with 
SDSU’s teacher-scholar model. Relevant professional work experience in 
advertising is required. Evidence or promise of a strong research agenda 
in advertising and/or branded digital communications (broadly defined) 
is required.

Desired Qualifications: We seek a “visionary,” a candidate who is able 
to express his/her own perspective on where the field of digital branded 
communications is heading and who possesses the desire and skills 
necessary to revise and create courses that help students understand 
this vision, thereby contributing to both the growth of the advertising 
specialization and to students’ post-graduation success. An earned 
doctorate in advertising, marketing, integrated marketing communication, 
mass communication or a related field is strongly preferred by the 
position start date.

The ideal candidate should have a track record of teaching college-level 
advertising courses. We are particularly interested in candidates with 
expertise for and/or experience in teaching undergraduate courses in 
advertising research, advertising creative, digital media planning, and 
advertising and social media strategy. Applicants also should have an 
interest in designing and teaching courses broadly related to branded 
digital communications at the graduate level, in addition to serving on 
master’s thesis committees.

Applicants should be able to demonstrate the ability to teach one or 
more of the following: advertising creative with an emphasis on digital 
creative strategy and tools; advertising research with an emphasis on 
new and emerging digital research techniques; advertising and social 
media with an emphasis on the strategic use of social platforms. Fluency 
in both English and another language (e.g., Spanish) would be a plus.

Rank and Salary: This is a two-year visiting faculty position at the 
assistant professor or lecturer level. Appointment to the position at 
the assistant professor level requires that the candidate’s doctoral 
degree be earned by August 1, 2015. Appointment as a visiting lecturer 
is possible if the candidate has not earned the doctoral degree by 
August 1, 2015. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and 
experience.

Applications: Review of application materials will begin October 1, 
2014, and continue until the position is filled. Each application should 
be mailed in hard copy and include (a) a letter of interest summarizing 
the candidate’s qualifications, (b) a curriculum vita, (c) a transcript 
of all graduate courses taken, (d) a sample syllabus for a course the 
candidate has taught or would be interested in teaching, and (e) names 
and contact information for three references. All applications and 
inquiries should be addressed to:
