The Knight Chair will teach at least one class per semester, likely in the undergraduate journalism curriculum, with graduate classes a possibility.

Assistant Professor in Entertainment and Media Studies

- Ph.D. in Mass Communication, or related area
The Department of Entertainment and Media Studies seeks applicants who take a critical, cultural, historical and/or qualitative approach to innovative study of television processes and cultures across screens. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
This position carries a 2/2 teaching load. In addition to teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in specific areas of expertise, teaching responsibilities will include 1-2 theoretical, methodological and/or substantive required core courses for majors. Mentoring of graduate students, direction of theses and dissertations, and service on department, college and university committees is expected.
Clinical Assistant Professor
Minimum Qualifications:
- A master’s degree or above (e.g., a terminal degree like an MFA or a PhD) is required.
The Clinical Assistant Professor will teach undergraduate classes in the College’s Sports Media Certificate program and in a new master’s program being developed by UGA’s Carmical Sports Media Institute. The Sports Media Certificate prepares students for careers in sports journalism and/or communications. Graduates of the six-course program work in roles ranging from beat reporters to local TV producers to media-relations professionals to play-by-play announcers to team-side digital hosts and social media producers. All courses are designed to help students develop knowledge and skills in reporting, writing and producing visual-forward storytelling about sports – anchored in journalism fundamentals and ethics.
The Clinical Assistant Professor in Sports Media will also support the Carmical Sports Media Institute’s extracurricular experiential-learning initiatives. These include a partnership with The Associated Press through which students have traveled internationally, with faculty mentors, to cover two Paralympic Summer Games and a Women’s World Cup as credentialed writers and photojournalists.
Lecturer in Advertising and Public Relations
Minimum Qualifications:
- A master’s degree or above (e.g., a terminal degree like an MFA or a PhD) is required.
The Lecturer in Advertising and Public Relations will be teaching multiple sections of our required writing course, Public Relations Communication, with the possibility of teaching other undergraduate core courses as needed. The goal of this course is to teach students to communicate effectively via multiple communication platforms with an array of stakeholders and audiences at the local, national, and international levels. Students should leave with an understanding of how to strategically create relevant messages for diverse audiences and for a variety of purposes: media relations, social, and in-house channels.
