Job Duties
The Department of Multiplatform Production (MPPD) in the School of Global Journalism & Communication (SGJC) at Morgan State University invites applications for a tenured or tenure track position at the rank of Associate or Full Professor and Chair. MPPD is dedicated to teaching students to create and produce content for traditional media as well as for various digital, internet-based and social media. In addition, there is a focus on the strong writing skills students need to develop the text that accompanies the content they are creating and editing.
The successful candidate will be a dedicated teacher qualified to teach a range of undergraduate production and/or non-production classes. Candidates should value the creative and artistic uses of production, be able to integrate theory and practice and value their roles as teachers and mentors to undergraduates.
The Department of Multiplatform Production is home to some 120 majors. It is also home to BEAR-TV, a student-staffed, faculty-supervised closed-circuit television operation that broadcasts around campus. BEAR-TV has a YouTube channel on which content is also broadcast. In addition, BEAR-TV will soon begin producing podcasts. SGJC oversees WEAA, an NPR affiliate station with which MPPD's students also have an opportunity to work.
Requested Minimum Qualifications
The successful candidate will have a terminal degree coupled with professional or production experience. Candidates must have advanced knowledge of and proficiency with appropriate production software platforms, especially the Adobe Creative Suite, which is used by majors in all three SGJC departments.
In addition to teaching, the successful candidate is expected to engage in a robust research agenda that may be traditionally academically-centered, creatively or professionally focused or both. Professional and institutional service are expected as is active participation in professional and academic organizations.
Other Preferences for Consideration
Management skills and experience, including the ability to manage a production team, are highly desirable.
