Temple University's Klein College of Media and Communication is hiring a 
tenure-track Assistant Professor in Sports Media.


*Assistant Professor (tenure track) in Sports Media
Klein College of Media and Communication, Temple University*
Klein College of Media and Communication at Temple University invites 
applications for a tenure-track assistant professor with expertise in 
sports media, to begin July 1, 2027. A Ph.D. in communication, media 
studies, journalism, or a related field is expected by the start date; 
candidates who are ABD at the time of application will be considered.
The departmental home of the successful candidate will be determined by 
the candidate’s research and teaching expertise. Klein College is home 
to four departments: Advertising and Public Relations, Communication, 
Journalism, and Media Studies and Production. In addition, the 
Department of Film and Media Arts will join Klein College in summer 
2027. The college also houses several master’s programs and centers, 
including the Claire Smith Center for Sports Media.
We seek a colleague with an active research agenda that could employ a 
range of research methods to study digital and social media, emerging 
media, and the impact of technology on the sports media industry. We are 
especially interested in candidates who are forward-thinking about 
technology and who can strengthen both our teaching and research related 
to digital platforms, emerging technologies, and the future of media as 
it relates to the sports industry. Areas of interest may include, but 
are not limited to, AI and emerging technologies in sports production 
and distribution, sports betting and gambling media, fandom and 
audiences, and sports journalism and storytelling. We also encourage 
applicants who are globally minded in their approach to sports media. 
Klein College’s Latinx Initiative, for example, is a project designed to 
respond to the shifting cultural, political, sociological, economic, and 
global landscape of Latino communities in our city and beyond.
In addition, we hope to find a colleague whose scholarship complements 
and elevates the work of the Claire Smith Center for Sports Media. The 
ideal candidate’s research will align with emerging trends in sports 
media and technology, creating new opportunities for collaboration, 
expanding the Center’s scholarly profile, and strengthening connections 
among our teaching, research, and industry and community engagement. 
This position presents a meaningful opportunity to bridge the Center’s 
strong practitioner focus with a growing research agenda.
Overall, the successful candidate will have a track record of, or the 
potential for, impactful scholarship, dynamic and inclusive teaching, 
and openness to collaboration on scholarly and applied initiatives. We 
seek a colleague who can contribute to teaching, mentoring, and 
programmatic development at the undergraduate and graduate levels, 
including Klein’s interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in Media and 
Communication. Industry experience is valued but not required.
