Our School's growing course offerings in investigative reporting, digital storytelling, and data journalism aim to train the next generation of journalists and communications leaders to tell stories more effectively, create new and innovative story forms that can both hold power to account and foster an informed public, and increase common ground and encourage fact-based debate. The successful candidate will teach graduate and undergraduate courses and help shape the curriculum around digital and data journalism. We seek candidates with a graduate degree and a distinguished professional record as well as a promising record of, or substantial progress toward, a robust and interdisciplinary research profile that complements and enhances the tenure-track faculty at this Research 1 university.
