Assistant Professor in Multimedia Journalism

The Department of Journalism in the School of Communications and Theater at Temple University has an opening for a tenure-track scholar/teacher with professional experience whose research and/or teaching interests address convergence issues and new media and journalism topics. The Ph.D. is preferred, though other applicants may be considered on the basis of professional stature and experience.

The Department of Journalism is more than 75 years old with 15 full-time faculty members who teach some 800 undergraduate and graduate students in a multimedia, urban journalism curriculum. While its goal is to prepare students for a multimedia professional future, the curriculum includes concentrations in news-editorial, magazine, broadcast, and photojournalism, all of which have online dimensions. Studies areas including history, law, critical issues and ethics also are integral parts of the curriculum. A Master of Journalism program offers professional training to full- and part-time students. Departmental faculty holding a Ph.D. also have the opportunity to participate in the School of Communications and Theater’s doctoral program in Mass Media and Communication.

Temple University is in Philadelphia, the nation’s fifth-largest media market. The University has more than 34,000 students on regional and international campuses.
