The highly-acclaimed Public Relations Department at Syracuse University’s S.I.

Professional experience in International Public Relations or Public Diplomacy is preferred and University teaching experience is highly desirable. Experience and/or ability to teach Executive Education courses is desirable.
The Department is seeking to add an outstanding professor who can bring national visibility to the School through research and writing whether it is for the academic or professional press. The Department’s Public Diplomacy Dual-Degree Master’s Program is a two-year program that awards master’s degrees in Public Relations from Newhouse and International Relations from Syracuse University’s prestigious Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. Graduates of this program enter positions in a wide variety of organizations, including government, public affairs, NGO’s and other settings. Candidates with experience in social media or other digital technologies used in Public Relations are particularly desirable.
Teaching responsibilities could include some of these courses primarily at the graduate level such as: Advanced Public Diplomacy, Public Relations Campaigns, Public Relations Writing, Public Relations Management, Public Relations Research and other courses that complement the individual’s expertise or specialization. The individual may also teach undergraduate public relations courses.
The position expects a variety of service duties, including: academic and career advising of undergraduate and graduate students; department, school and university committee service; curriculum development and revision; and community outreach.
This position requires teaching five courses per academic year with the expectation of professional creative work or scholarly activity. A minimum of a master’s degree is required. Applicants with significant professional experience and a master’s degree should have written work and a serious interest toward publication, and be able to demonstrate that, if hired, there will be a notable and ongoing writing plan. Those with Ph.D.’s are also sought, including ABD’s. The ideal candidate will be expected to show potential for conducting a strong writing program, research or creative work as well as excellence in teaching, service, and advising.
The Newhouse School is widely recognized as one of the premiere communications schools and provides a supportive environment for teaching, research, and leadership. It’s an exciting time to join the School, which is home to approximately 1,850 undergraduate, 225 master’s, and 15 Ph.D. students. A third building to the Newhouse complex opened in fall 2007.
