The Department of Journalism, Media, and Communication (JMC) seeks an established scholar to teach courses and conduct research in any area of journalism, media, and communication. JMC is an internationally diverse department comprising six full-time faculty members and a cadre of approximately 15 adjunct instructors drawn from the professional and creative industries.
We are seeking a colleague who is interested in the ongoing development of our expanding department and who derive deep satisfaction from mentoring and guiding students inside and outside the classroom. Candidates will primarily be expected to teach our core classes and develop courses in their area of specialty.
The successful candidate will possess the following:
- A Ph.D. in journalism, media, or communication;
- The rank of associate or full professor at their current university;
- Research publications commensurate with their rank;
- Experience teaching college-level courses in English;
- Teaching experience in a liberal arts environment or willingness to adapt to the American liberal arts style of teaching;
- A collegial and collaborative attitude.
We especially welcome applications from candidates who hold habilitation in Bulgaria or another European country.

The American University in Bulgaria is committed to a policy of non-discrimination and equal opportunity.
