mass media and digital media, and we seek top scholars to complement

psychology (i.e., media uses, processes, and effects), and whose methods 
include experiments, surveys, longitudinal studies, content analysis,

of media psychology will be considered, areas of particular interest are 
the psychological antecedents and consequences of media use; 
representations of gender and/or sexuality and their consequences; 
representations of race and ethnicity and their consequences; media uses 
and effects among members of understudied and/or marginalized groups; 
media uses and effects through the lifecourse; media effects on health, 
risk, and environmental behavior; media effects on cognitive processing 
and learning; and strategic communication (i.e., public relations, 
advertising, and/or other communication aimed at meeting an 
organizational mission, approached from a theoretical perspective).
Job duties include research activity, teaching of graduate and 
undergraduate courses, and service to the department, school, 
university, and profession. The anticipated starting date for this 
university-year appointment is September 1, 2019. All applicants should
