The Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications at Northwestern University invites applications for a tenured/tenure-track position in Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) beginning in Fall 2024. The position may have the rank of Assistant, Associate, or full Professor.
QUALIFICATIONS
The IMC department is looking for a scholar who is proficient in using computational research techniques of brand and consumer-initiated marketing communications. Candidates should have a PhD in marketing, advertising, communications, economics, business, information systems, or a related field and should have a strong ambition to conduct and publish high caliber, impactful, and innovative research in the field of marketing analytics. Their work should have strong managerial implications that drive thought leadership. Applicants should show in their cover letter how their research is aligned with the values and goals of the IMC program. Candidates with expertise in conversational platforms, generative AI, digital/social/mobile media marketing, and customer analytics using large scale data collection and analysis are especially encouraged to apply. Scholars who include ethics, gender, race, and/or other aspects of social identity in their research are desirable.
Faculty will work in a demanding but rewarding environment at a premier global university. Medill is a professional school, and thus it is critical that the successful candidate integrate theory and professional practice and that research be actionable by the professions. The department offers a full-time 15-month master's program, a professional master's program, and an undergraduate certificate program. The programs focus on developing depth of expertise in consumer/stakeholder insight, brand strategy, data analytics, media strategy, and strategic communications. Applicants must have an interest in developing and teaching courses on marketing research, data science, marketing models and machine learning. Faculty are expected to teach both undergraduate and graduate students and perform professional service commensurate with rank.
Medill is dedicated to creating a socially just community by strengthening policies, developing programs, and fostering acceptance for a broad range of communities and concepts. We aim to welcome students, staff and faculty from diverse backgrounds and support them so they may thrive in our community. We are interested in applicants who will advance DEI through their teaching, research, and/or service. Our excellence can only be fully realized by faculty, students, and staff who share our commitment to these values. Successful candidates for our faculty positions will demonstrate evidence of a commitment to advancing equity and inclusion. In their statement on contributions to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion, candidates should be specific about their contributions to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, including information about their understanding of these issues, record of activities to date, and specific plans and goals for advancing equity and inclusion if hired as a Medill faculty member.
Considering the significant disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly for disadvantaged groups in our evaluation of applicants, dips in productivity and engagement in the field in otherwise strong records/trajectories occurring with the onset of the pandemic will be evaluated with the context of the pandemic in mind.
