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:
