*American University: School of Communication*

*Location - *Washington, D.C.

*Open Date - *Dec 06, 2022

*Qualifications - *The ideal candidate is a recognized or rapidly 
emerging thought leader in the area of information and communication law 
and policy, with a focus on Internet-based platforms and 
infrastructures, and emerging media, especially as tied to democracy and 
governance. Scholarship is expected to have clear implications for 
policy – whether for federal agencies, international treaty 
organizations, Internet and/or platform governance, standard-setting 
organizations, NGOs, or other major sites of governance and policy. The 
candidate should already have a solid publication track record in 
scholarly venues, whether in books or articles.

The successful candidate will be invited to participate in several 
university research centers, such as the Internet Governance Lab, the 
Center for Media and Social Impact, and the law school’s programs on 
Information Justice and Intellectual Property and on Tech, Law, and 
Security. A track record of raising funds for research (and eventually 
for centers) is ideal.

This position will be integral to the PhD and Master’s programs. The 
position has an administrative appointment in the Communication Studies 
division at SOC, which houses a competitive doctoral program, a MA in 
Media, Technology and Democracy, and a research-focused undergraduate 
program. A passion for mentoring future scholars and strong teaching 
skills are essential.
