Tenure-track post on AI, with historical approaches welcome
We’re looking for an Assistant Professor investigating AI & media/communication, and historical approaches are very welcome!
That’s a link to the full PVL. Here’s the job description:
The School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Wisconsin-Madison seeks a full-time Assistant Professor beginning August 18, 2025, with a research agenda focused on Artificial Intelligence and the quality, integrity, and credibility of news and public-interest communication. Candidates should have a demonstrated commitment to excellence in research and teaching and a PhD in communication or related fields such as media studies, information studies, sociology, psychology, computer science, data science, political science, public health, and science and technology studies. We are a methodologically diverse department and seek candidates with strengths in qualitative, quantitative, and/or computational approaches to media and communication research. Regardless of focus, our ideal candidate will have a substantial research agenda that sheds critical light on how AI and related technologies change the work of journalism and other knowledge-producing institutions in the democratic public sphere, in a moment of diminishing institutional trust and rising concern about “information disorder” in countries around the world.
Anyone interested in learning more should feel free to get in touch with me or other members of the search committee: Karyn Riddle (kriddle@wisc.edu), Hernando Rojas (hrojas@wisc.edu), and Sijia Yang (syang84@wisc.edu). Thanks!
Thanks very much,
