Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism

Los Angeles, CA • On-site

$37.88 - $46.96/hr

Full-time

This job post has expired today. Applications are no longer accepted.

Job description

The Annenberg School of Journalism at the University of Southern California seeks a highly qualified adjunct instructor to teach an entry-level digital course in our undergraduate journalism core curriculum, JOUR 321: Visual Journalism. JOUR 321 Visual Journalism teaches students how to gain an understanding of visual journalism through theory and practical application while exploring current and emerging story forms.

Applicants should be able to teach students how to use/shoot video for digital platforms, principles of photography, design for web and mobile platforms, and the roles each play in interactive and engaging storytelling. An emphasis will be placed on narrative, documentary-style video, and visual stories for web and social media.

Applicants should also be familiar with the elements of design related to typography, layout, audience engagement, and user interface as they apply to journalistic story forms across platforms. Applicants should have a working knowledge of Instagram stories, Adobe Premiere and Audition, Lightroom (or Photoshop), and should be active on social media.

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.

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 hourly range for this position is $37.88 – $46.96. 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.
USC is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, protected veteran status, disability, or any other characteristic protected by law or USC policy. USC observes affirmative action obligations consistent with state and federal law. USC observes affirmative action obligations consistent with state and federal law.

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.
