The Department of Communication, Journalism, and Public Relations at Oakland University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position with a focus on advertising, beginning in August 2027. We are particularly interested in candidates who employ quantitative research methods and whose scholarship contributes to areas of disciplinary relevance and student interest, including advertising and brand communication, sports communication, social media analytics and management, or technology and society.

The successful candidate will demonstrate excellence in teaching, maintain an active record of scholarship, and engage in service to the department, college, university, and broader community. We also value industry experience and the ability to engage students through hands-on, project-based learning in both the classroom and professional practice. As part of our collaborative faculty community, the successful candidate will help prepare students to shape the future of advertising and strategic communication in the diverse Metro Detroit area and beyond.
