[christina dunbar-hester]

(with apologies for x-posting)

The School of Communication at USC’s Annenberg School for Communication and
Journalism is searching for a tenure-track Assistant Professor. This search
aims to help create a diverse faculty body and especially seeks applicants
who contribute to equal opportunity here at USC. We particularly welcome
candidates who place race and ethnicity, diasporic communication,
communication and media issues in underserved populations, or social
inequalities at the center of their research and teaching interests, as
well as faculty who might bring to their research diverse perspectives that
stem in part from their non-traditional educational backgrounds or from
their personal experiences as members of groups historically
underrepresented in higher education.

Candidates may work in any area in the Communications field: Media Studies,
Cultural Studies, Rhetoric, Information and Communication Technologies,
Health Communication, among others. Applicants should have earned a Ph.D.
in Communication or in a related discipline. Scholars representing all
methodological traditions are encouraged to apply. ABD’s who will have
degree in hand by August 2017 and recent Ph.D.s are especially encouraged
to apply.

This position would potentially be supported in part by the USC Provost’s
Assistant Professor

Fellowship program, which supports new faculty to pursue scholarship and
tenure. The Provost’s Assistant Professor Fellowship program provides a
first year without teaching obligations followed by the standard six-year
probationary appointment.

We seek a colleague whose work will grow into making high-impact
interventions into the Communications field and contribute to the current
and future work of the School, and to that of the USC campus broadly.
