Adjunct Instructor, Strategic Public Relations: An Introduction

4 weeks ago


Los Angeles CA University Park Campus, United States Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism Full time

The Annenberg School of Journalism at the University of Southern California seeks a highly qualified adjunct instructor to teach PR 250 Strategic Public Relations:  An Introduction.    This undergraduate class introduces students to strategies and practices in the growing field of public relations and strategic communication, including landmark cases; special emphasis on historical roots, evolution, current and future practice. This course also serves as the gateway for students who have not yet decided on a major or minor in PR to get enthused and inspired about the industry.  Therefore, experience in agency, corporate, non-profit or government PR is preferred.  Because of the lockstep nature of our curriculum, willingness to adhere to the established class curriculum is required.

Requirements for consideration include a B.A., B.S., M.S., or an M.A. degree in a related field.  Previous teaching experience is desirable.  For some courses, outstanding professional experience may be substituted for academic credentials.

The hourly range for this position is $37.88 – $45.46. When extending an offer of employment, the University of Southern California considers factors such as (but not limited to) the scope and responsibilities of the position, the candidate’s work experience, education/training, key skills, federal, state and local laws, contractual stipulations, as well as external market and organizational considerations.

USC reserves the “Adjunct” appointment for faculty teaching less than full-time at USC, who are employed full-time in a primary profession or career elsewhere. Adjunct faculty typically teach only one course per year, but in exceptional cases, may teach one course per semester, if approved by the dean.

Applicants should send a letter describing their background, interests and areas of expertise, and an up-to-date resume or curriculum vitae through the Careers at USC website.

The USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism is among the nation’s leading institutions devoted to the study of communication, journalism and public relations.  With an enrollment of 2,400 undergraduate and graduate students, USC Annenberg scholars, both students and faculty, are defining these fields for the 21st century and beyond.
