Syracuse University's S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications invites applications for two full-time, tenure-track assistant professor positions in Public Relations. The start date for these positions is August 22, 2022.

Preference will be given to candidates with expertise or interest in topic areas that complement one or more of the research and teaching specialization(s) in the department. This may include social media and public relations, social media analytics, public relations and diversity, public relations management, crisis communication, international public relations, and public relations ethics. 

Compelling candidates will indicate aptitude and/or promise for exemplary teaching, whether through prior university teaching experience or similar professional roles mentoring/supervising young public relations practitioners, in the topics above. Courses that complement the individual's expertise or specialization would also be considered.

The successful candidates will need to show potential for conducting academic scholarship or industry-related creative activity/research that will position the hire as a well-known expert in the field. Participation in service and committee work for the department, the Newhouse School, and Syracuse University is expected.
