Description
Boston University
College of Communication
The College of Communication at Boston University believes that
trustworthy, high-quality communication that engages diverse audiences
is an essential underpinning for a functioning society. The college
invites applications for the Dalton Family Professor, who will use new
and emerging media to engage colleagues and communities to address
societal challenges, such as in social and economic justice, civic
participation, media literacy, science/health communication, urban life,
and environmental sustainability. This is a tenured, in-residence
position with responsibilities for teaching, research, public engagement
and support for the initiatives and curriculum of the College. We seek a
forward-looking, dynamic thinker with an international reputation for
scholarship and/or professional achievement in emerging communications.
The College believes that communication, as an essential tool for
enhancing understanding for all communities and human endeavors, must
embrace cultural and social diversity in order to achieve true
excellence in our research and academic programs. BU has redoubled its
commitment to more fully embody its founding principles. To that end, we
are especially eager to have join our ranks a colleague who supports our
institutional commitment to ensuring BU is inclusive, equitable,
diverse, and a place where all constituents can thrive.
Candidates for this endowed position should present qualifications
suitable for appointment as a full professor at Boston University, based
on a record of scholarship and intellectual leadership. The Dalton
Family Professor should demonstrate a record as a respected researcher,
academic or professional in emerging and new media. The professor should
have a demonstrated ability to engage students and the public in
understanding the role communication plays in identifying, elucidating
and solving major societal challenges that have arisen from neglecting
the value of human diversity and beneficiaries of structural power. The
position presents extensive opportunities for cross-disciplinary
pursuits across the College, the University and with national and
international institutions.
Boston University’s College of Communication strives to build
understanding through education, practice, and discovery in
communication. In supporting that mission, the Dalton Family Professor
will provide scholarly expertise and important leadership to the
university. The role will help COM bring value to communities at the
university, and globally through scholarship, experimentation, and
contributions to public conversation.
The Professorship is endowed by the Dalton Family, including Nathaniel
Dalton, a Boston University trustee, and a Boston University School of
Law graduate.
We request a curriculum vitae and a letter of interest as well as the
names of three references. Applications may be sent by mail or
preferable, by email as a PDF document to:
