I would like to announce a tenure-track Assistant Professor opening we 
have here at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, PA, USA, beginning in Fall 
2020. Our curriculum is dedicated to the integration of media analysis 
and media production for social justice in a liberal arts setting. We 
seek a teacher-scholar who is committed to enhancing our culture of 
diversity, equity and inclusion and will complement existing faculty 
strengths. The Media and Communication Department mission statement can 
be found here: https://www.muhlenberg.edu/academics/mediacom/missiongoals/

Preference will be given to candidates with experience in qualitative, 
ethnographic, and/or community-based approaches to media, including 
documentary in all audiovisual forms, digital, print, and/or audio-based 
media such as radio and podcasting. We are particularly interested in 
candidates with research and teaching interests in the following areas: 
ethics of media representation; representation and underrepresentation 
in popular media; postcolonial and decolonial studies; intersectional 
queer and transgender politics of race; critical race theory; 
alternative forms of cultural production; public sphere studies; racism 
and antiracism; media activism; class and racial disparities in media 
access and adoption. Candidates should hold a Ph.D. in Communication, 
Media Studies, or a related field by August 2020.

The successful candidate must combine teaching excellence and innovative 
pedagogy with an intellectually compelling research agenda as well as a 
commitment to Muhlenberg's General Education Curriculum goals such as 
diversity and global engagement, community-based learning, integrative 
learning (including, but not limited to, interdisciplinary 
collaboration), and the cultivation of curiosity. The 3/3 teaching load 
will include required courses such as Media & Society, Documentary 
Research (ethnographic research course in media), Media Theory & 
Methods, and the Honors Seminar (a year-long capstone course for 
advanced students) along with electives in the candidate’s field of 
specialty.

Candidates should upload their complete applications as a single pdf 
file. A complete application will include: 1) cover letter of 
application, 2) curriculum vitae, 3) statement of teaching philosophy, 
4) contact information for three references, and 5) a statement 
describing experiences supporting diversity, equity, and inclusiveness 
and ways in which the candidate can contribute to Muhlenberg’s goal of 
becoming a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable community. Candidates 
selected as finalists will be provided with a confidential email address 
for the submission of recommendation letters.

Application review begins on November 1, 2019 and will continue until 
the position is filled.
