Brief Summary of Job Duties

The Department of Multiplatform Production (MPPD) in the School of Global Journalism & Communication (SGJC) at Morgan State University invites applications for a tenured or tenure track position at the rank of Associate or Full Professor and Chair.

In addition, BEAR-TV will soon begin producing podcasts. SGJC oversees WEAA, an NPR affiliate station with which MPPD's students also have an opportunity to work.

Requested Minimum Qualifications

The successful candidate will have a terminal degree coupled with professional or production experience. Candidates must have advanced knowledge of and proficiency with appropriate production software platforms, especially the Adobe Creative Suite, which is used by majors in all three SGJC departments.

In addition to teaching, the successful candidate is expected to engage in a robust research agenda that may be traditionally academically-centered, creatively or professionally focused or both. Professional and institutional service are expected as is active participation in professional and academic organizations.

Other Preferences for Consideration

Management skills and experience, including the ability to manage a production team, are highly desirable.
