The Department of Media & Communication Studies at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) invites applications for a Lecturer position beginning August 2024.

We are specifically interested in candidates with a background in Media and Communication Studies (history, media literacy, and theory), with interest and experience in any of the following: media production, digital storytelling, podcasting, video, branding, public relations, and advertising.

Candidates require a terminal degree in a relevant field.

The successful candidate will teach a combination of courses in the Media and Communication Studies core (media literacy, media and communication history, media theory), and electives with integrated production or industry elements. The annual teaching load is eight courses (twenty-four credit hours). Candidates will also be expected to advise undergraduate students, and to contribute to the Department’s service and shared governance commitments.

Candidates need to demonstrate a commitment to high quality undergraduate teaching. Candidates must also describe the ways in which their creative works, research interests, teaching, and/or life experience contribute to “inclusive excellence,” such as their ability to work with underserved and diverse populations and their capacity to respond in pedagogically productive ways to the competence, aspirations and needs of students from diverse backgrounds.

The Media and Communication Studies Department encourages students to refine their media literacy and practice through the study of communication technology, critical and cultural communication, globalization, research methods, media production, and media history and theory. UMBC’s Department of Media and Communication Studies was founded in the belief that everyday life requires critical engagement across a range of media, platforms, and cultural contexts. Responsive to an increasingly digital, interactive, algorithmic, and globalized communication landscape, our curriculum offers an innovative and interdisciplinary education.

US News and World Report regularly ranks UMBC in the top 10 of most innovative universities, and the Chronicle of Higher Education recognizes UMBC as one of its “Great Colleges to Work For” in categories including cooperative governance, compensation, teaching environment, and work-life balance. UMBC is especially proud of the diversity of its student body, and we seek to attract an equally diverse applicant pool for this position. Our faculty and campus community have a strong commitment to equity and social justice, as do our students.

Applicants should submit their applications by October 16, 2023 for best consideration. Please provide a cover letter; a statement of teaching philosophy; a statement of commitment to diversity and inclusiveness; CV; and two sample course syllabi by October 16, 2023.
