*Communication Studies Department *

*Executive in Residence or Tenure-Track Assistant Professor, Global
Communication*

*Boston, MA USA*



The Department of Communication Studies at Emerson College seeks a faculty
colleague with expertise in the field of global communication. This
full-time appointment may be for a tenure-track Assistant Professor or for
a renewable term Executive in Residence, depending on the candidate’s
qualifications and current position. Appointment begins on August 20, 2020.



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 colleague who can enrich global communication perspectives in one
or more areas of the department’s curricula. By “global communication” we
mean primary engagement with issues and stakeholders in specific countries
or regions as well as those with international, transnational, and
intercultural dimensions. Global communication represents a core
educational commitment we wish to develop and enhance across the curriculum
rather than a distinctive curricular area. Possible existing courses for
the successful candidate could include: Crisis Communication, Leadership,
Conflict and Negotiation, International PR and Global Communication
Management, Management and Communication, Public Affairs Matrix: Media,
Politics and Advocacy, Sports as Soft Power, and Health Communication
Campaigns. The faculty member will also have the opportunity to develop new
courses.



In addition, we seek a candidate who could participate in all facets of the
operation of the Center for Global Communication, a partnership between
Emerson College and Blanquerna-Ramon Llull University School of
Communication and International Relations, Barcelona [ECBCGC
<https://www2.emerson.edu/school-communication/center-global-communication>].
This could include, but not be limited to, the organization of national and
international academic/professional meetings as well as conferences, the
contribution to research efforts, and the development, expansion, and
strengthening of networks of scholars and practitioners spanning across
countries, academic disciplines, and cultures.



The department offers undergraduate majors in communication studies,
political communication, public relations, and sports communication as well
as a master’s in public relations. In addition, the department offers a
number of minors and houses Emerson College’s basic oral communication
course. Annually, the department participates in the international GlobCom
project, a multicultural global communications competition involving 15
universities in 15 countries on five continents. The department also has
immersive programs in public diplomacy, political communication, public
relations and civic engagement programs in several countries, including
Mexico, Canada and Australia. Finally, global opportunities exist for
research and teaching in Spain, Mexico, Australia, and other locations
nationally and internationally



Emerson College’s Department of Communication Studies has continuously been
recognized as one of the top Communication & Media Studies programs in the
United States by College Factual, a market leader in providing college
rankings. It represents one of the oldest communication programs in the
country, with roots reaching back to Emerson’s founding as a school of
oratory and expression in 1880.



Emerson College is the nation’s only four-year institution dedicated
exclusively to majors in communication and the arts in a liberal arts
context. Its main campus is located in the center of the dynamic
multicultural city of Boston, in close proximity to major publishing
houses, arts institutions, and research centers. The college also has
campuses in Los Angeles and the Netherlands. Emerson College enrolls over
4,400 graduate and undergraduate students from more than 52 countries and
all 50 states.
