For this position, we seek candidates whose scholarship adopts a

We welcome applications from scholars using a range of methodological 
approaches (e.g., qualitative, quantitative, critical, interpretive, 
mixed-methods) who study topics including but not limited to the 
following areas:
  Algorithmic discrimination
Data justice
Environmental implications of digital technologies
Platform economies
Platform governance/regulatory frameworks
Inequality and platforms
Digital infrastructures (technical and/or material)
Media industries and platforms
Platforms and publics (e.g., studies of mis/disinformation, civic 
engagement, platformized news and journalism)
The role of platforms in political communication

We look forward to welcoming a new colleague who will contribute to our 
thriving undergraduate and master’s programs and our interdisciplinary 
school-wide Ph.D. program.

Responsibilities of tenure-track/tenured faculty members include 
undergraduate and graduate teaching assignments in journalism and media 
studies, an active program of research in the candidate’s area of 
scholarly expertise, and service contributions in accordance with the 
university policy for tenure‐track and
tenured appointments.
