The School of Journalism and Communication at Carleton University invites applications from qualified candidates for a preliminary (tenure-track) appointment in journalism at the rank of Assistant Professor beginning on July 1, 2012.
Applicants should have a minimum of 10 years of experience in print, broadcast or multimedia journalism or a combination thereof with a graduate degree preferred in a relevant discipline. The successful candidate will be committed to effective teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels, will contribute effectively to the academic life of the School as a committed faculty member, and be expected to develop a research program and profile, ideally involving one of Carleton’s strategic themes, namely Sustainability and the Environment, Health, New Digital Media, and Global Identities and Globalization.
The School is particularly interested in applicants with expertise in digital media who can teach journalism skills across multiple platforms consistent with the School’s long-term cross-media approach to journalism education that gives all its graduates a sound grounding in all major media forms. Experience in teaching introductory or advanced level courses in general reporting in print/online, video or audio journalism that incorporate digital and multimedia elements at both the undergraduate and graduate levels will be valuable. Of additional interest will be the ability to teach issues exploring the relationships among media, journalism and the broader society.
Carleton’s journalism program is Canada’s oldest. Three of the six degrees awarded at Carleton University’s first convocation in 1946 were Bachelors of Journalism. Instruction focuses on skills-based professional training in print, broadcast, multimedia and online with the undergraduate program also placing a strong emphasis on broader academic education in addition to journalism education. The School also offers a Master of Journalism program. Additionally, it offers B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. programs in Communication. The School has a combined enrolment of approximately 550 in journalism and 1,500 students overall. Alumni have gone on to be leaders in the fields of journalism, communications studies, politics, and public service.
