open rank faculty appointment in Media Law and Ethical Journalism, to be 
appointed in the Journalism and Strategic Communication Program.
https://www.qatar.northwestern.edu/about/faculty-positions/open-rank-media-law-journalism-ethics.html. 


We seek candidates with an active scholarly profile in fields related to 
Media Law and Journalism Ethics, and who ideally have a combination of 
university-level teaching experience, legal education and/or experience, 
professional media experience, and a dynamic publication record.
Teaching expectations include both Media Law courses, with preference 
for an international media/strategic communication emphasis, and 
foundational courses in the Journalism and Strategic Communication 
Program, such as Investigative Reporting and Journalistic Storytelling. 
Candidates also have an opportunity to contribute to a growing list of 
interdisciplinary minors, such as Strategic Communication, Middle East 
Studies, Media and Politics, Africana Studies, and Film and Design.
Preference will be given to candidates with a JD or PhD and who have 
some knowledge of media practice in the Middle East and North Africa.

NU-Q is a globally embedded institution; it is one of three campuses of 
Northwestern University (Chicago, Doha, Evanston) and one of several 
institutions in the Qatar Foundation’s Education City in Doha, Qatar. 
Our mission is to mentor and educate students to become creative, 
ethical, and impactful communicators across cultural and national 
boundaries. We are committed to academic excellence, to a vibrant 
student life, and to high-level undergraduate student research and media 
making, particularly on the Global South. Located at the confluence of 
continents, NU-Q is a diverse global community with approximately 500 
students from 60 countries.

Candidates will have the opportunity to contribute to our distinctive 
Institute for Advanced Study in the Global South (#IAS_NUQ), a community 
of evidence-based storytellers devoted to understanding the media, 
cultures, societies, politics, and history of the countries of the 
Global South. This includes mentoring our Undergraduate Global Fellows, 
participating in reading and research groups, and contributing to 
panels, seminars, conferences, and publications.

In addition to a demonstrated publication track record or evidence of a 
highly promising trajectory commensurate with career stage and/or rank, 
applicants should show competence in working with globally diverse 
communities, a strong commitment to excellence in inclusive teaching and 
mentoring, and dedication to institutional service and shared governance.

NU-Q provides competitive compensation and benefits. The medium of 
instruction is English, but proficiency in Arabic or another regional 
language is an advantage at NU-Q. Candidates with experience in US 
higher education as well as in the Arab region, women, and persons from 
traditionally underrepresented groups in academia are particularly 
encouraged to apply.

Applications received by January 13, 2024, will receive priority 
consideration.  The search will continue until the position is filled or 
the search closed.
