Named Professor of Journalism – Civil and Human Rights

Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism (www.journalism.columbia.edu) is seeking a named professor of Journalism whose research and teaching would focus on issues of race relations, diversity and equal rights, primarily in the United States. The holder of the professorship would also serve as the leader of the Ira A. Lipman Center, which convenes leaders in journalism and civil and human rights and conducts research around social justice issues. Candidates should have a demonstrated ability to influence the media and public discussion about coverage across lines of difference. The school seeks a professor who will be a candidate for tenure. That means someone who has the ability to produce a body of substantial work that will make a significant contribution to the field. The Journalism School embraces diversity, so we seek candidates with the ability to work with and attract dynamic and diverse groups of faculty, staff and students.
