The USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism seeks to appoint a transformational interdisciplinary scholar to the Jayne and Hans Hufschmid Chair in Strategic Public Relations and Business Communication. The individual selected will provide academic and research leadership focusing on the intersection of communication and business. The position calls for expertise in digital media convergence, new and emerging approaches to connecting organizations to their publics, and social media analytics, as well as an understanding of the impact of rapid technological change on local and global economies.
USC is deeply committed to interdisciplinary collaboration, and thus we seek a boundary spanner who can not only foster connections among existing programs like our Media Economics and Entrepreneurship initiative, the Annenberg Innovation Lab, and the Strategic Communication and Public Relations Center, but can also seek out and nourish relationships between Annnenberg and the USC Marshall School of Business, working to build programs that integrate strategic public relations and business management.

An advanced degree is preferred. Salary and benefits will be competitive and commensurate with qualification and experience. Relocation assistance may be available.
