Job Description:

The University of Baltimore's Center for Digital Communication, Commerce, and Culture (“CD3C”) invites applications for a 12-month Digital Fellow (“Fellow”) position. The Center for Digital Communication, Commerce, and Culture at The University of Baltimore is a dynamic hub for interdisciplinary research and collaboration. Our work addresses the challenges and opportunities of the digital age through innovative research, inclusive education, and community engagement. The Fellow will engage in interdisciplinary research while contributing to the teaching and academic mission of The University of Baltimore. The fellowship encourages innovative scholarship in Communication, Commerce, and Culture, broadly defined. Scholars with expertise in design, user-centered cybersecurity, public policy, business, or information technology are particularly encouraged to apply. We are particularly interested in receiving applications from individuals who are members of groups that historically have been underrepresented in academia.

The CD3C will appoint a recent recipient of a doctorate in a field related to Communication, Commerce, and Culture (e.g., design, user-centered cybersecurity, public policy, business, or information technology) as a Digital Fellow for a 12-month in-residence fellowship beginning July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. The Fellow will receive an annual stipend of $65,000, health benefits, and a $15,000 research budget. The Fellow will receive comprehensive mentorship in both research and teaching from experienced faculty, as well as access to the Center's resources, networks, and collaborative opportunities. In addition to pursuing an active research agenda in fields related to Communication, Commerce, and Culture, the Fellow will teach one undergraduate or graduate course per semester in their area of expertise.

Successful candidates will be selected on the basis of scholarly promise, experience or interest in teaching and mentoring students, and their demonstrated commitment to equity, inclusion, and access in their research, teaching, or professional practice. Applicants must have completed their doctorate when the term of appointment commences.

We invite qualified applicants to submit the following materials electronically by March 1, 2025:

1. A cover letter detailing research interests, teaching philosophy, and alignment with the Center’s mission.
2. Curriculum vitae (CV).
3. Contact information for three professional references.
4. A statement describing the applicant's commitment to equity, inclusion, and access in academia and their discipline.

We offer a competitive benefits package, including health, life, prescription, and dental plans, tuition remission benefits, paid leave (22 days of annual, 15 days of sick, 3 days of personal, and 14-15 holidays) and retirement plans with employer contributions.
