We invite applications for an assistant professor in digital

implications for various identity backgrounds such as race, gender,
sexuality, disabilities, and intersectional identities. We especially
welcome applicants whose digital communication scholarship illuminates
issues and opportunities related to Latinx/a/o communities.
Experts in this area examine digital media’s potential to empower
creative expression and civic life, as well as the economic and social
implications of the digital divide and structural inequalities.
Successful candidates may employ an array of methods including
collection and analysis of large-scale behavioral data, ethnographic and
participatory action research, and critical methods. The successful
applicant will teach a range of courses, from core and capstone
offerings to undergraduate and graduate courses in their area of
specialty that prepare students to understand the aesthetic practices,
social and political impacts, and cultural and community implications of
digital media.
This position is one of several recruitments focused on Latinx/a/o
experiences across campus, including in Educational Counseling, English
and Comparative Literature, Journalism and Mass Communications, the
School of Information, the School of Management, Sociology and
Interdisciplinary Social Sciences, and Chicana and Chicano Studies.
Founded in 1963, SJSU’s Department of Communication Studies
<mailto:https//www.sjsu.edu/comm/> is the fifth largest department on
campus, with about 900 majors, 100 minors, and 40 graduate students. We
offer six curricular programs and nine co-curricular programs (Graduate
Teaching Associate, COMM Center, Internship program, Forensics Team,
Social Media Team, Califia Performance Collective, COMM Study Abroad,
COMM Student Association, and a thriving Honors Program). The department
also coordinates closely with other units in the College of Social
Sciences, particularly via the Ethnic Studies Collaborative (ESC), which
supports Ethnic Studies curricular and co-curricular projects that
address issues of settler colonialism, racial capitalism, immigration,
and racialization, with a focus on the comparative histories and
experiential knowledges of marginalized racial and ethnic groups in the U.S.
The Department of Communication Studies and San José State University
value diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. Our excellence in
research, teaching, and service can only be fully realized by faculty,
students, and staff who share our commitment to these values. SJSU
enrolls more than 36,000 students, many of whom are historically
underserved, and around 45% are first-generation and 38% are
Pell-recipients. SJSU is a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) and Asian
American and Native American Pacific Islander (AANAPISI) Serving
Institution. The university’s commitment to social justice extends from
its vibrant, inclusive campus to an international network of over
275,000 alumni. As such, San José State is committed to increasing the
diversity of its faculty so our disciplines, students, and the community
can benefit from multiple ethnic and gender perspectives.
Successful candidates will demonstrate evidence of a commitment to
equity and inclusion through their research, teaching, and/or service.
