[ecrea] Tenure Track Assistant Professor of Communication - Media Studies / Fairfield University

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.
