Greetings, friends,
I want to let you know about an intriguing tenure-track faculty position in
data journalism at Lehigh University.
The position is part of a large interdisciplinary hiring initiative called
Data X (http://lehigh.edu/datax). The primary focus of this position is
journalism and mass communication. The successful candidate will conduct
research and teaching at the intersections of journalism, data and computer
science.
Relevant journalism and mass communication research can include data
visualization, data-driven investigative reporting, data mining,
storytelling with data, social network analysis, and data analysis focusing
on privacy and veracity. Applications are due by September 30.
Applicants should apply at Academic Jobs Online:
https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/5678.
We are interested in identifying Ph.D. students nearing graduation or
professors interested in moving laterally. We always look to increase the
diversity of our candidate pool, so if you know of any appropriate
diversity applicants, please encourage them to apply.
Many thanks.
