Communication and Media Studies 2010-2011

Welcome to 2010-2011.

 * Here's last year's wiki.
 * We're going to go with alpabetical listings this year. (As voted on last year.) There is a template at the bottom of this page to help us out.
 * A request: Could posters please use more specific time phrasing as "the week of March 14" or "January" instead of "this week" or "last month"? This way, the information can stay informative.
 * Note that some job listings (especially on NCA's site) may expire after a certain number of days; this does NOT necessarily mean the job was canceled or filled. Be sure to save all listings you're interested in!

POSITION 1
Link: Pepperdine HR website- http://seaver.pepperdine.edu/about/employment/faculty.htm#communication

Deadline: 1 November 2010

Rank: TT Assistant Prof

Area: Interpersonal, Organizational, Intercultural

Notes: The job announcement states that "The successful candidate will have a commitment to excellent teaching at the undergraduate level, a proven research track record, and will be actively involved in a Christian faith community." Question: Is it legal to require someone to be an active Christian to be a "successful candidate" for a job?

''Yes, if it's a private university, then religious requirements of faculty are legal. I was told by a senior faculty member that, if I was unclear about what this meant, to e-mail search chairs asking them to explain further what "actively involved" entailed. For some Christian schools you have to sign a faith pledge of sorts, while for others you don't, etc.''

I've heard that this means that you have to sign an agreement that you will instill Christian beliefs about the origin of humanity - i.e. evolution.
