Carleton University - School of Journalism and Communication
Subject to budgetary approval, Carleton University invites applications for
a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor in the
Communication Studies Program of the School of Journalism and Communication.
The Program offers degrees at undergraduate, master¹s and doctoral levels,
and has a combined enrolment of 900 students. It is a leader in the study of
communication and is seeking an individual of exceptional abilities to

in more than one area is an asset. Consideration will also be given to
applicants whose work addresses new digital media, communication and health
or communication in non-western contexts. Application packages must include
evidence of teaching performance and the potential for developing a dynamic
research agenda.
Carleton University is strongly committed to fostering diversity within its
community as a source of excellence, cultural enrichment and social
strength. We welcome those who will contribute to the further
diversification of our faculty and its scholarship including, but not
limited to women, visible minorities, Aboriginal peoples, persons with
disabilities, and persons of any sexual orientation or gender identity. All
qualified candidates are encouraged to apply but applications from Canadians
and permanent residents will be given priority.
The anticipated starting date of the appointment is July 1, 2010.
