Fairfield University
Tenure Track Assistant Professor of Communication - Media Studies
The Department of Communication in the College of Arts & Sciences at Fairfield University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor to begin in September 2017. The Department of Communication has a broad emphasis in communication theory including but not limited to media studies/digital media, organizational communication, interpersonal/intercultural communication, public relations/strategic communication, health communication, and cultural/critical studies. We seek a teacher and a scholar that can contribute to one or more of our areas of emphasis and are particularly interested in scholars who can contribute to our offerings in global/international media systems, media law and institutions, media economics, and emerging media. Our faculty is collegial and collaborative and we seek applicants who can work well in a department that values different methodological approaches, including quantitative, qualitative, interpretive, and critical methods. Our program is grounded in the liberal arts tradition and focuses on theory and research. We are equally concerned with issues of ethics, power, gender, race, social justice and class as these issues interrelate. Qualified candidates will have a Ph.D. in Communication at the time of appointment. The candidate should demonstrate a record of scholarly production, potential for a strong research program, and a strong potential for pedagogical success. In addition, candidates should have a commitment to innovation and demonstrated excellence in using technology in the classroom. The candidate will be expected to teach in both the undergraduate program, with students pursuing a traditional liberal arts 4-year experience, and in our graduate program, which includes non-traditional learners and working professionals pursuing advanced degrees. Ability to contribute to the University’s interdisciplinary programs including Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Latin American and Caribbean Studies, Asian Studies, Black Studies, Peace and Justice Studies, and Environmental Studies is also desirable. The position requires a 3-3 teaching load, and includes competitive compensation including excellent fringe benefits and faculty development resources.

Fairfield University is a highly selective institution in the Jesuit tradition, consistently ranked in the top three comprehensive universities in the North by The U.S. News & World Report. We are located less than one hour from New York City on the scenic shoreline in Fairfield, Connecticut. Communication is one of the largest departments at Fairfield University. We have undergraduate majors in Communication and Public Relations, a masters-level graduate program in Communication, and a productive, dedicated, and diverse faculty. The department has an undergraduate student club, a large internship program, and a chapter of Lambda Pi Eta.
