Christine, I'm also completing a PhD in comm. Studies, so I've been doing some career research lately. My areas of foci are public relations, health communications and new media. Certainly the Chronicle of Higher Ed and Higher Ed Jobs are great sources for open academic positions, but I've found the job ads on the National Communication Association (http://www.natcom.org/) and Association for Education in Journalism and Communication ( http://www.aejmc.com/) websites are easier to navigate and more applicable to my experience and interests. You may want to check them out, although they tend to be very US-centric and I noticed from your email address that you're studying in New Zealand. Both organizations also host job fairs in conjunction with their annual national conferences, so if you can make a trip stateside that might be a good opportunity to network. The NCA conference takes place this November in San Francisco.

that's basically all i have for those fields. there are tons of other places to look for jobs. however, the best way to get a job is explained by phil agre in networking on the network, or so i claim
also don't forget our colleague's contributions in this area:
http://sterneworks.org/academe/
and there are likely other resources.
see you on the market, it should be a fun year.... (the only part of this job i don't like is the market and job season) _______________________________________________ The Air-L@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org
