Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications invites applications for a full-time tenured position at the Associate or Full Professor rank to begin Fall 2021.

The School is seeking applicants in the area of Journalism, Trust & Democracy. This recruitment is part of an ambitious Invest Syracuse Cluster Hire Initiative in the broad area of Citizenship and Democratic Institutions. As an integral part of this investment, Syracuse University will recruit multiple candidates for faculty positions across departments for this cluster. Faculty hired into these positions will build on our existing strengths in the focus area and will participate in an organized research cluster that spans multiple departments in the Newhouse School, the Maxwell School of Citizenship & Public Affairs, the Law School, and across Syracuse University.

Job Specific Qualifications

The School seeks a multidisciplinary scholar who has a significant, established track record of published research in the area of journalism and democracy, particularly one that complements the Newhouse School’s existing strengths, and who will be a positive addition to the cluster described above. Political, cultural and economic forces have undermined public trust in journalism, an institution that plays a pivotal role in democracy, and this is particularly true in the digital media environment. We seek a colleague who can lead multidisciplinary research efforts to analyze the forces that damage trust and to strengthen the ability of journalists and others to rebuild credibility. A wide range of theoretical and methodological approaches will be considered, from a range of disciplines including political science, psychology, sociology, computer science, and history in addition to mass communication. The ability to secure grant funding is essential.

Responsibilities

The successful candidate will teach graduate and/or undergraduate courses in their areas of expertise, and will have a teaching load appropriate for a productive scholar. S/he will have a track record of collegial collaboration and be expected to advise doctoral dissertations and master’s theses.

About the Syracuse area

Syracuse University is an equal-opportunity, affirmative-action institution. The University prohibits discrimination and harassment based on race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender, national origin, citizenship, ethnicity, marital status, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression, veteran status, or any other status protected by applicable law to the extent prohibited by law.

Commitment to Supporting and Hiring Veterans

Syracuse University has a long history of engaging veterans and the military-connected community through its educational programs, community outreach, and employment programs. After World War II, Syracuse University welcomed more than 10,000 returning veterans to our campus, and those veterans literally transformed Syracuse University into the national research institution it is today. The University’s contemporary commitment to veterans builds on this historical legacy, and extends to both class-leading initiatives focused on making an SU degree accessible and affordable to the post-9/11 generation of veterans, and also programs designed to position Syracuse University as the employer of choice for military veterans, members of the Guard and Reserve, and military family members.

Commitment to a Diverse and Inclusive Campus Community

Syracuse University maintains an inclusive learning environment in which students, faculty, administrators, staff, curriculum, social activities, governance, and all other aspects of campus life reflect a diverse, multi-cultural, and international worldview. The University community recognizes and values the many similarities and differences among individuals and groups. At Syracuse, we are committed to preparing students to understand, live among, appreciate, and work in an inherently diverse country and world made up of people with different ethnic and racial backgrounds, military backgrounds, religious beliefs, socio-economic status, cultural traditions, abilities, sexual orientations and gender identities. To do so, we commit ourselves to promoting a community that celebrates and models the principles of diversity and inclusivity.
