*LEHIGH UNIVERSITY *

The Department of Journalism & Communication invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position dedicated to research and teaching in *community journalism* with particular emphasis on Latino communities.

In collaboration with the Latin American Studies program, we seek a teacher and scholar who has the background, interests and skills to effectively engage the scholarly community as well as our students and the citizens of our distinctive locale, the predominantly Latino South Side. An ability to teach professional classes in reporting and editing is strongly preferred. The candidate should have relevant professional experience. Ph.D. is required by appointment start date.

The candidate will teach two courses per semester, advise students, participate in departmental and program service, and conduct an active research program. Upper-level classes likely would cross list with Latin American Studies. Salary and benefits are highly competitive.

The Department of Journalism & Communication has offered a small undergraduate program of superior quality since 1927. Alumni are in the top ranks of American journalism. It has seven full-time faculty. With major and minor programs in journalism, science and environmental writing, and mass communication, the department enrolls about 100 majors and minors. Latin American Studies is a growing program that offers an undergraduate minor, Pre-doctoral/Postdoctoral Fellowships, and a Latin American film series and lecture series. Participating faculty are drawn from throughout the college. More information can be found at: http://www.lehigh.edu/journalism and https://las.cas2.lehigh.edu/.
