[Commlist] Executive in Residence or Tenure-Track Assistant Professor, Global Communication at Emerson College

Executive in Residence or Tenure-Track Assistant Professor, Global 
Communication at Emerson College

The Department of Communication Studies at Emerson College seeks a 
faculty colleague with expertise in the field of global communication. 
This full-time appointment may be for a tenure-track Assistant Professor 
or for a renewable term Executive in Residence, depending on the 
candidate’s qualifications and current position. Appointment begins on 
August 20, 2020. Emerson College is committed to an active, intentional, 
and ongoing engagement with diversity—in people, in the curriculum, in 
the co-curriculum, and in the college’s intellectual, social, cultural, 
and geographical communities. Emerson endorses a framework of inclusive 
excellence, which recognizes that institutional excellence comes from 
fully engaging with diversity in all aspects of institutional 
activities. Therefore, we strongly encourage applications from 
candidates who can demonstrate through their teaching, research, and 
service that they can contribute to our excellence in this area.

We seek a colleague who can enrich global communication perspectives in 
one or more areas of the department’s curricula. By “global 
communication” we mean primary engagement with issues and stakeholders 
in specific countries or regions as well as those with international, 
transnational, and intercultural dimensions. Global communication 
represents a core educational commitment we wish to develop and enhance 
across the curriculum rather than a distinctive curricular area. 
Possible existing courses for the successful candidate could include: 
Crisis Communication, Leadership, Conflict and Negotiation, 
International PR and Global Communication Management, Management and 
Communication, Public Affairs Matrix: Media, Politics and Advocacy, 
Sports as Soft Power, and Health Communication Campaigns. The faculty 
member will also have the opportunity to develop new courses.

In addition, we seek a candidate who could participate in all facets of 
the operation of the Center for Global Communication, a partnership 
between Emerson College and Blanquerna-Ramon Llull University School of 
Communication and International Relations, Barcelona [ECBCGC]. This 
could include, but not be limited to, the organization of national and 
international academic/professional meetings as well as conferences, the 
contribution to research efforts, and the development, expansion, and 
strengthening of networks of scholars and practitioners spanning across 
countries, academic disciplines, and cultures.

The department offers undergraduate majors in communication studies, 
political communication, public relations, and sports communication as 
well as a master’s in public relations. In addition, the department 
offers a number of minors and houses Emerson College’s basic oral 
communication course. Annually, the department participates in the 
international GlobCom project, a multicultural global communications 
competition involving 15 universities in 15 countries on five 
continents. The department also has immersive programs in public 
diplomacy, political communication, public relations and civic 
engagement programs in several countries, including Mexico, Canada and 
Australia. Finally, global opportunities exist for research and teaching 
in Spain, Mexico, Australia, and other locations nationally and 
internationally.

Emerson College’s Department of Communication Studies has continuously 
been recognized as one of the top Communication & Media Studies programs 
in the United States by College Factual, a market leader in providing 
college rankings. It represents one of the oldest communication programs 
in the country, with roots reaching back to Emerson’s founding as a 
school of oratory and expression in 1880. Emerson College is the 
nation’s only four-year institution dedicated exclusively to majors in 
communication and the arts in a liberal arts context. Its main campus is 
located in the center of the dynamic multicultural city of Boston, in 
close proximity to major publishing houses, arts institutions, and 
research centers. The college also has campuses in Los Angeles and the 
Netherlands. Emerson College enrolls over 4,400 graduate and 
undergraduate students from more than 52 countries and all 50 states.
