The School will hire the best possible candidate whose scholarship expands the discipline’s theoretical knowledge of communication networks, whose research will lead to important insights into communication network processes, and whose teaching will enlighten and inspire our undergraduate and graduate students. Exceptional applicants at the Assistant or Associate rank are encouraged to apply, with a preference for applicants with established and advanced trajectories.

The candidate is expected to help the school continue to grow our commitment to network scholarship, through research, teaching, and mentorship. Communication networks are an integral part of almost all facets of contemporary life including teams and groups, organizations and institutions, and the global political economy. These networks connect diverse and global constituencies that differ in terms of gender, class, race, ethnicity, national origin and other differences. We seek a colleague whose academic career demonstrates an interest in a broad array of topics in connectivity such as the semantic World Wide Web, social and enterprise networks, collaboration networks, team networks, political mobilizing, network equality, and crowdsourcing.

We seek someone who will teach our graduate-level network analysis methods courses, so previous graduate teaching experience in this area is a definite plus. The candidate will play a leading role in the Annenberg Networks Network (ANN) a research center at the Annenberg School that focuses on network theory and research. This scholar will also be affiliated with the Annenberg Institute for Diversity and Empowerment to explore the intersection of communication networks and diversity.
