USC ANNENBERG SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM | PUBLIC RELATIONS OPEN RANK 
PROFESSOR (TENURE TRACK)
School of Journalism Los Angeles, California
The Public Relations Studies Program at USC Annenberg’s School of 
Journalism seeks applicants for the full-time position of Assistant, 
Associate, or Full Professor (tenure track). We recognize that public 
relations is undergoing revolutionary change and redefinition due to 
convergence of media, technologies, and challenges in the public’s trust 
in institutions. We also recognize that public relations scholarship 
potentially involves many fields. We are thus looking for crossover 
candidates from communication, advertising, marketing, organizational 
sciences, data science, management, information and library science, 
applied anthropology, and/or computer science. Our ideal candidate will 
have previously worked in public relations or a related field like 
advertising or marketing. We seek a research-oriented colleague who is 
eager to deeply explore areas relevant to public relations in ways that 
are rigorous and creative. Some of the methodological areas that might 
be considered include approaches using ethnographic methods, data and 
library science approaches, social network analysis, machine learning 
content analysis, artificial intelligence, and digital humanities, as 
well as interesting extensions and combinations of these research 
techniques. We do not have student pools or a lab and thus are not 
looking for experimental psychologists at this time. We are searching 
for scholars who publish top-tier articles pertaining directly to public 
relations, doing it from various fields, and crafting creative, 
sophisticated, accessible, and rigorous work.

Preferred candidates will have:
• A doctorate in a field with research relevant to public relations 
research, such as communication, marketing, sociology, information and 
library science, political science, computer science, or anthropology;
• ABDs who can show evidence that their degree work will be completed by 
August 1, 2018 will also be considered;
• A track record of published work in top tier outlets; where 
appropriate this includes peer-reviewed academic journals as well as 
high quality academic books published by renowned academic presses;
• Evidence of a high quality and active research pipeline in an area 
related to public relations and targeted at the top-tier of research 
publications;
• A demonstrably high level of methodological innovation and/or aptitude;
• Interest and enthusiasm for bridging theory and practice;
• Solid knowledge, or preferably, experience of public relations or a 
field relating directly and demonstrably to public relations;
• Willingness and ability to teach in our applied public relations 
undergraduate and graduate degree programs.

Applicants should send a cover letter, a current curriculum vitae or 
resume, and a small sample of professional or scholarly work.  In your 
application, please carefully explain how you meet our qualifications, 
particularly, top-tier track record, top-tier pipeline, methodologically 
innovative research, theory-practice balance, public relations 
knowledge, and teaching skills. Additional information about the manner 
in which your research might link to Los Angeles might be helpful, 
because Annenberg is closely connected to the city that surrounds it, an 
environment rich in public relations and communication talent. Linking 
your research interests to those of our colleagues in the Journalism 
Program and our sister School of Communication may also be helpful.

Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. Apply
