rights. We highly value applications from candidates who can articulate 
the relationship between global, national, regional, and local levels of

with the public; advance critical perspectives in policy research and 
advocacy (for example feminist, LGBTQ, postcolonial, anti-racist); and 
teach research methods.

Candidates are expected to have a completed Ph.D. (or Ph.D. near 
completion) in

Communication or a cognate discipline with expertise in communication 
and cultural policy, a record of teaching excellence, a clear potential
