        DESCRIPTION

        Northeastern University’s College of Arts, Media and Design invites
        applications for an open-rank cluster search in the nascent field
        of Information Justice. Building on recent developments in
        algorithmic accountability, new newsroom technologies and
        journalism tools, critical information studies, critical data
        studies, and universal design, this multidisciplinary area of
        inquiry addresses issues of bias, diversity, equity, and exclusion
        in information and global media systems. We welcome a diverse range
        of applicants whose scholarship, newsroom experiences, design and
        visual communication practice, journalistic work, and/or public
        impact work in Information Justice would contribute to our programs
        in Information Justice in Journalism, Art + Design, or
        Communication Studies.

        RESPONSIBILITIES

        We are particularly interested in candidates who bring an
        interdisciplinary perspective and whose research/creative practice
        and teaching align with one of the following high-priority areas
        related to Information Justice:


        * In Communication Studies, public and community health
          communication, health information access and equity, and/or
          health (dis)information campaigns;
        * In Design: visual communication in the public sphere focused on
          influence, advocacy, and social engagement in civic, health, and
          environmental issues;
        * In Journalism: justice-oriented data investigations, data-driven
          media ecosystems analyses, impactful data-driven & digital
          storytelling, community-grounded partnerships.

        Successful candidates will be primarily appointed in the School of
        Journalism, Department of Art + Design, or Department of
        Communication Studies. Split appointments between these units, with
        other units in the College of Arts, Media and Design (Architecture,
        Music, Theatre), or elsewhere at Northeastern University are
        possible, including the Khoury College of Computer Sciences, the
        Institute for Experiential AI, the Ethics Institute, and the
        Institute for Race, Technology, and Social Justice.

        QUALIFICATIONS

        Candidates must have a PhD, MFA, or other relevant terminal degree
        by the appointment start date.
