The appointment will begin on August 18, 2022.

The Department offers two undergraduate majors (Marketing Communication and Business of Creative Enterprises), three undergraduate minors (Marketing Communication, Entrepreneurial Studies, and Business Studies for Communication & the Arts), and three graduate programs (Strategic Marketing Communication, Digital Marketing & Data Analytics, and Business of Creative Enterprises). The individual selected for this position will be expected to contribute across these on-campus and online programs, with the priority of this position being in the Digital Marketing & Data Analytics graduate program.

Emerson College is committed to an active, intentional, and ongoing engagement with diversity—in people, in the curriculum, in the co-curriculum, and in the college's intellectual, social, cultural, and geographical communities. Emerson endorses a framework of inclusive excellence, which recognizes that institutional excellence comes from fully engaging with diversity in all aspects of institutional activities. Therefore, we strongly encourage applications from candidates who can demonstrate through their teaching, research and service that they can contribute to our excellence in this area.

We seek a skilled teacher who will fortify our offerings in analytics and the uses of data-driven analysis and decision making in for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. This individual would bring subject matter expertise in established and emerging tools and platforms (e.g. digital, social media, database). Their academic and/or professional knowledge may draw from a variety of areas, such as, but not limited to: consumer engagement, advertising media, digital marketing, retailing, and communication channels.

Candidates should be able to address issues of race and representation in all of their courses. The department is engaged in identifying and removing barriers to admission for working-class students and students of color. The successful candidate will bring expertise to this dialogue. Our ideal candidate will also possess a keen and developed awareness of the issues around diversity, inclusion, and equity within the classroom, and within the profession. The candidate should have facility with culturally responsive pedagogies and approaches, and possess a fluid pedagogy that is able to adapt and expand as the cultural conversation around representation, privilege-based difference, and inclusive excellence continues to evolve. We recognize that these terms and concepts might have different valences in different countries and regions, so please feel free to contact the search committee chair with any questions.

We encourage applications from candidates who use the field to expose power relationships and oppressive practices that are normalized in dominant culture and who explore race, gender, sexuality, and class dynamics through their work. Candidates must demonstrate the ability to work effectively with faculty, students, and staff from diverse backgrounds. An ability to work and teach collaboratively, and a strong commitment to undergraduate education beyond the classroom are essential. Members of underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply.

General candidate requirements. The candidate must:

• have prior teaching experience at the college/university level or related teaching/training experience in the field;
  
• possess appropriate competencies with mainstream and specialized software tools in the field, as the Department is committed to strengthening its students' analytical and quantitative skills;
  
• be strongly committed to an active engagement with diversity, as described above;
  
• value collegiality and collaboration.
