Assistant/Associate Professor in Digital Communication & New Media
The School of Journalism & Mass Communication seeks candidates with  
primary interests in the area of journalism and news media who are  
well-versed in and equipped to teach multimedia/online/digital news  
production, dissemination and uses. Those interests would be  
demonstrated in both the person’s teaching assignments and research/ 
creative work. We seek to educate students to value the traditions of  
a free and responsible media that support a democratic society, and  
to become ethical and productive members of the news media and their  
communities. We also seek to engage our scholarly communities as well  
as our constituent industries, whose leaders tell us they look  
increasingly to the academy for help in coping with this fast- 
changing news environment. This colleague will teach two courses per  
semester in the newsgathering and media studies sequences at both the  
undergraduate and graduate levels and serve on graduate committees.  
For this position a Ph.D. is preferred and professional experience in  
journalism with a new media emphasis is highly desired. Candidates  
holding a master’s degree with extensive professional experience in  
digital media will be considered. Any candidate appointed will have  
demonstrated an ability to think through larger conceptual issues  
raised by digital media and have a clear agenda for peer-reviewed  
research publications and/or juried creative production that can lead  
to tenure. We hope to hire at the assistant professor level, but  
associate rank will be considered. Appointment will begin in August  
2008.  For more details, go to: www.colorado.edu/journalism. Please  
submit a cover letter, resume and the names and contact information  
of three references at www.jobsatcu.com and refer to posting number  
802090. Application review will start Monday, Nov. 12, 2007, and will  
continue until the position is filled. Professor Michael Tracey is  
Search Chair.


Assistant/Associate Professor in Environmental Journalism
The School of Journalism & Mass Communication seeks candidates with  
an active program of research or creative work in the public  
communication of environmental issues. The successful candidate will  
be expected to take an active role in our nationally recognized  
Center for Environmental Journalism (CEJ), which offers  
interdisciplinary graduate level courses as well as programs to help  
professional journalists understand and communicate the scientific,  
political, economic and social underpinnings of environmental issues.  
The candidate’s research could be in areas such as environmental  
science, climate change or risk communication.  This colleague will  
teach two courses per semester — conceptual and skills courses in the  
newsgathering and media studies sequences at both the undergraduate  
and graduate levels — and will serve on graduate thesis committees.  
Candidates must have a Ph.D. and professional experience is also  
highly valued. We hope to hire at the assistant professor level, but  
associate rank will be considered.  Appointment will begin in August  
2008.  For more details, go to: www.colorado.edu/journalism. Please  
submit a cover letter, resume and the names and contact information  
of three references, at www.jobsatcu.com and refer to posting number  
802088. Application review will start Monday, Nov. 12, 2007, and will  
continue until the position is filled. Professor Len Ackland is  
Search Chair.
