About the Position: 	

The Department of Media & Communication Studies at the University of 
Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) invites applications for a Lecturer 
position beginning August 2024.

We are specifically interested in candidates with a background in Media 
and Communication Studies (history, media literacy, and theory), with 
interest and experience in any of the following: media production, 
digital storytelling, podcasting, video, branding, public relations, and 
advertising.

Candidates require a terminal degree in a relevant field.

The successful candidate will teach a combination of courses in the 
Media and Communication Studies core (media literacy, media and 
communication history, media theory), and electives with integrated 
production or industry elements. The annual teaching load is eight 
courses (twenty-four credit hours). Candidates will also be expected to 
advise undergraduate students, and to contribute to the Department’s 
service and shared governance commitments.

Candidates need to demonstrate a commitment to high quality 
undergraduate teaching. Candidates must also describe the ways in which 
their creative works, research interests, teaching, and/or life 
experience contribute to “inclusive excellence,” such as their ability 
to work with underserved and diverse populations and their capacity to 
respond in pedagogically productive ways to the competence, aspirations 
and needs of students from diverse backgrounds.

The Media and Communication Studies Department  encourages students to 
refine their media literacy and practice through the study of 
communication technology, critical and cultural communication, 
globalization, research methods, media production, and media history and 
theory.  UMBC’s Department of Media and Communication Studies was 
founded in the belief that everyday life requires critical engagement 
across a range of media, platforms, and cultural contexts. Responsive to 
an increasingly digital, interactive, algorithmic, and globalized 
communication landscape, our curriculum offers an innovative and 
interdisciplinary education. To learn more about the Media & 
Communication Studies Department, please visit https://mcs.umbc.edu/.

undergraduate students. US News and World Report regularly ranks UMBC in 
the top 10 of most innovative universities, and the Chronicle of Higher

diversity of its student body, and we seek to attract an equally diverse 
applicant pool for this position. Our faculty and campus community have 
a strong commitment to equity and social justice, as do our students.

Applicants should submit their applications by October 16, 2023 for best 
consideration. Please provide a cover letter; a statement of teaching 
philosophy; a statement of commitment to diversity and inclusiveness; 
CV; and two sample course syllabi by October 16, 2023.
