James Madison Visiting Professorship on First Amendment Issues
The Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University invites
applications for a full-time, visiting professor during the
2022–2023 academic year and renewable for up to one additional
year.
We are seeking a leading practitioner and instructor in journalism
from the United States or abroad who can help students understand
fast-paced news environments and the changing demands of the
profession. The visitor is expected to teach core courses— such as
reporting and writing, data journalism or multimedia options—in
which students produce work often focusing on municipal government,
courts, education, diverse communities and similar lines of
reporting near our New York campus.
As the James Madison Visiting Professor on First Amendment Issues,
the successful candidate will demonstrate expertise in press
freedoms and be conversant with issues in the context of global
free expression. This might include freedom of information, digital
surveillance, privacy, open data and other topics related to
information flows in the digital era.
Along with a foundational course in areas like reporting or
writing, the visitor may teach a seminar in their own specialty
area, supervise masters’ projects and advise students. This
instruction may be in the Master of Science program, the Master of
Arts program, the data degree program or the dual degree program in
journalism and computer science.
We would prefer candidates with a substantial publishing record as
well as experience as a teacher, writer and editor. The school
embraces diversity, and applicants are expected to have the ability
to work with a diverse group of faculty, staff and students.
We are especially interested in those who, through their research,
teaching and service, will contribute to the diversity and
excellence of the academic community.
To qualify for this visiting professorship the candidate must
currently hold an appointment at another academic institution. A
bachelor’s degree is required; advanced degree preferred.
This visiting position will begin no earlier than July 1, 2022,
pending administrative approval. Letters of interest and curricula
vitae can be submitted for consideration by going to the following
