[Commlist] Assistant professor position at Tulane University

The Department of Communication at Tulane University invites 
applications for a tenure-track, Assistant Professor position in 
journalism studies. We seek scholars whose research critically explores 
how journalism engages with contemporary crises, including but not 
limited to issues such as climate change, immigration, public health, 
authoritarianism, and challenges to democracy. The ideal candidate will 
have an established record of or exhibit promise in producing 
peer-reviewed scholarship, employing research methods within a critical 
framework.

The Department has a strong intellectual commitment to innovative 
interdisciplinary and transnational media research, evidenced in the 
scholarship of our faculty, many of whom have joint appointments with 
other programs in the School of Liberal Arts. We seek a faculty 
colleague to expand the “Structures and Institutions” area of the 
undergraduate core curriculum 
(https://liberalarts.tulane.edu/departments/communication/academics/the- 
communication-major). Structures and Institutions analyzes the 
political, economic and social forces that define the media landscape 
and the organization of media industries. Drawing particularly on the 
fields of political economy and media industry studies, core courses in 
this area examine the connections between communication and broader 
historical formations, such as the market, the state and civil society. 
Candidates should be prepared to teach one or more of our core offerings 
(Media Industry Analysis or Technology Analysis), in addition to courses 
in their areas of specialization. The course load for this position is 2-2.

Qualifications
Applicants should hold a PhD (or anticipate completing their PhD by July 
2025) in journalism, communication, media studies, or a related field.

Application Instructions
To apply, submit a cover letter, CV, two writing samples, and a list of 
three professional references with contact information by October 21, 
2024. The search committee will request letters of recommendation and 
syllabi from shortlisted candidates. Questions can be directed to Dr. 
Mauro P. Porto ((mporto /at/ tulane.edu)), Chair of the Search Committee
