The Hubbard School of Journalism and Mass Communication (HSJMC) in the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota occasionally needs part-time instructors to teach courses that cannot be staffed by regular faculty or graduate students in strategic communication, journalism, and/or mass communication. These courses may be professional skills courses and/or professional seminars. These positions are temporary (one semester) and part-time (one course per semester).

The school is particularly interested in recruiting a diverse and inclusive pool of working professionals whose daily professional activities lend themselves to expertise relevant to curricula in the following areas: digital strategy and strategic communication; integrated campaign communication; management for strategic communication; podcasting; arts, community, local politics, and news reporting; editing for print and digital audiences; media design; and potentially other areas of the curricula.

Required Qualifications

B.A. degree in journalism, mass communication, strategic communication/advertising, public relations, or a closely related field
At least three (3) years of demonstrated successful professional experience in journalism, strategic communication/advertising, or public relations

Preferred Qualifications

Advanced graduate or professional degree (M.A.) in a related field
At least five (5) years of demonstrated successful professional experience
