Assistant Professor - Journalism and Communication 

Subject to budgetary approval, Carleton University invites applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor in the Communication Studies Program of the School of Journalism and Communication. The Program offers degrees at undergraduate, master's, and doctoral levels, and has a combined enrolment of 900 students. It is a leader in the study of communication and is seeking an individual of exceptional abilities to augment its strengths in teaching and scholarship. 

The Communication Studies Program has undergone a process of renewal, which included the introduction of undergraduate concentrations in Image, Politics and Persuasion; Media Institutions and Industries; and Communication and Identity. Candidates are expected to demonstrate teaching experience and research expertise in at least one of these three areas, although expertise in more than one area is an asset. Consideration will also be given to applicants whose work addresses new digital media, communication and health or communication in non-western contexts. Application packages must include evidence of teaching performance and the potential for developing a dynamic research agenda. 

Carleton University is strongly committed to fostering diversity within its community as a source of excellence, cultural enrichment, and social strength. We welcome those who will contribute to the further diversification of our faculty and its scholarship including, but not limited to women, visible minorities, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities, and persons of any sexual orientation or gender identity. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply but applications from Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority. 

The anticipated starting date of the appointment is July 1, 2010. Applicants should provide detailed curriculum vitae and arrange for three letters of reference to be sent to: Professor Eileen Saunders, Chair, Search Committee, School of Journalism and Communication, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1S 5B6. 

Application packages should be sent in hard copy. Emailed or faxed materials will not be accepted. The closing date for applications is March 15, 2010.
