The Journalism Program of the School of Communication and Information,
College of Social Sciences, University of Hawai’i at Mānoa (Honolulu,
Hawai’i) invites applicants for the position of Associate/Full
Professor. This is a 9-month, full-time, permanent, tenure track
position to begin August 1, 2024, subject to position clearance and
availability of funds.
**
*The Opportunity:*
**
The University of Hawai’i at Mānoa invites applications for this
position to play a significant role in building our rapidly growing
Journalism major. Our program is nimble, inclusive, and highly dynamic.
We are seeking a colleague with demonstrated ability to work effectively
and collegially with students, faculty, staff and alumni.
The ideal candidate for this position is a specialist in emerging media,
with expertise in how advancements in Artificial Intelligence(s) will
reshape the field. This person will help our students prepare for an
industry that will increasingly leverage computational resources to
spread news and battle misinformation and disinformation. In that vein,
news literacy is an important emphasis of our program, and we are
seeking someone who can contribute significantly to that cause, in an
effort to make such literacy part of the core curriculum
university-wide. While AI is a novel and monumental challenge, with
exciting opportunities and frightening potential, we also see
intersections inherent with emerging media technologies of all types,
including social media, Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR),
Extended Reality (XR) and Mixed Reality (MR), as well as with digital
storytelling platforms such as ArcGIS.
This position is specifically created to meet these demands from a
content-production perspective, while positioning the faculty member
immediately into a university-wide leadership position but also into a
leadership role nationally and internationally. We are seeking a senior
faculty member who not only can do this type of work but has done it,
and can provide evidence of a research-agenda trajectory on the way up,
evidence of grant-seeking successes, and of a clear rationale for
joining the faculty in Hawai’i, as opposed to any other place.
In Hawai’i, we work on one of the most-diverse campuses in the United
States and are actively seeking to increase the diversity, equity, and
inclusionary practices of our faculty in many ways. Given our unique
roots and the character of our student body, our search will favor
candidates who have a demonstrated interest in this region of the world
and social justice.
**
Our program and university have a strong commitment to recruit and
retain diverse applicants. We encourage women and members of
underrepresented groups to apply.
