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!

Degree(s) from a highly ranked institution on U.S. News and World Report rankings factors favorably into hire decisions (questionable how exactly this works)..


 * Wow, this is pretty disturbing and seems highly elitist, especially considering these rankings are contested and they do not indicate one's potential as a faculty member. Not a good sign, I think.

Phone interviews scheduled for final week of October.
 * Not to mention the fact that grads of CNU or comparable institutions would not qualify to work at CNU!
 * Excellent point!!
 * (11-2-2010): A highly ranked degree might factor into employment consideration, but take a look at the faculty profile page: http://www.cnu.edu/communications/profiles/index.asp. Not exactly a collection of Ivy leaguers or top notch talent, at least judging by the same standards being imposed for hiring new faculty. I've also known people who have interviewed for CNU, one was even hired, and the school will take, at least in terms of the quality of applicants made available, whatever they can get. The article might be disturbing to some, but it's basically a marketing strategy to make CNU seem more important, prestigious, etc., than it actually is.

A colleague of mine had a phone interview with them last Friday.

The conflict in this dept is supposed to be extreme, though, and that's helpful to know if anyone interviews with them.

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.


 * Do you mean creationism? How, exactly, would one teach creationism in a comm job?


 * If your understanding of Christianity is limited to creationism you're probably not right for this job.


 * My personal understanding of Christianity is by no means limited to creationism. I was simply looking for clarification of a statement made by above poster: '"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." This sentence makes no sense to me; I was wondering if they meant to say creationism instead of evolution.


 * It is not uncommon for a pledge signature. Many state schools require a pledge to uphold the state's constitution. It doesn't mean much. If you aren't right for the job, they will find reasons other than your signature on an oath.


 * This position specifically asks for "A statement indicating how the candidate will support the Christian mission of the University (http://seaver.pepperdine.edu/about/mission/)" (which is why I'm personally not applying).

POSITION 2

Portland State University
Link: Chronicle of Higher Ed http://chronicle.com/jobs/0000647006-01

Deadline: 15 October 2010

Rank: 2 TT Assistant Professors

Areas: health, media, culture/intercultural/international, political

Notes: Had 400 applications. Doing phone interviews to narrow down short-list.


 * Did the above poster get such an interview?


 * A colleague received a phone call 10/24 (Sunday, seriously?) evening.


 * They narrowed the 400 aps down to about 20. They already did first round phone interviews last week. 


 * This position requires the job recipient to sign a contract saying they must secure outside grant money as part of the position. You can't get tenure without getting grants (around $500,000, I believe). I think this is troubling - they basically make you "pay" for your position (on top of publishing, teaching, and service) to get tenure.
 * This is unheard of in Media/Cultural Studies. Is this requirement for both jobs they plan to staff?!
 * This is unheard of in most communication jobs! Yes, from what I understand, it is for both (but that's only my assumption, I could be wrong). I've heard that public education is very underfunded in Oregon and some departments are moving more toward external funding models like what is done in the hard sciences. I think this probably means that their finalists have some proven record of getting grants.

 * This job appears to be the same that was announced last year; anyone know what happened with the previous search? See UGA entry on Comm Media job wiki from last year: http://academicjobs.wikia.com/wiki/Communication_and_Media_Studies_2009-2010


 * The individual offered the job declined. All applicants from last year were given an option to passively renew their application via email correspondence if they wanted to be considered again.


 * Anyone get one of these on-campus invites? http://www.uga.edu/spc/events.html


 * Good link, but are you sure this is accurate? If the deadline was 10/8, that's quite a quick turnaround to do all phone interviews and such by 10/19. I'm not sure about UGA's process, but in my experience on the job market last year, several R-1 universities did not do phone/NCA interviews and instead went straight to on-campus invites. I wonder if this is the case because qualifications for an R-1 position are generally a lot more narrow, such as the need for the candidate to have top pubs and a research specialty. Personally, coming from an R-1 myself I haven't heard of this. We always do NCA or phone interviews, and the other R-1 that I know is already doing on-campus interviews in the next few weeks did a round of phone interviews too. But, alas, the proof is in the pudding. Congrats to those interviewing at UGA, and best of luck as the process moves forward!


 * - I heard from someone at UGA that the above link is not updated because campus invites have NOT been extended (10/21/10).


 * Also wanted to note from my experience (both hiring and being interviewed) that places don't always do phone interviews/conference interviews -- a lot of places go straight to on campus interviews but I would agree that it would be really unlikely that anything would happen in 11 days in a job search in academia -- would that it did so we could all get on with our lives.
 * unconfirmed rumor that invitations were extended for campus visits in early December (11/8). Anybody willing to confirm this?
