恰好OS要离开UCB去AS,J-School也在招院长,李老师对于NRS招聘副教授的观察和思考,这极大激发了我观察和跟踪的兴趣。先从分析招聘启事开始,这是2006年4月OS宣布要离开后就出现在伯克利官方网站并立刻转载于各大媒体的消息,我们看伯克利需要什么样的新闻学院院长:
DEAN. Graduate School of Journalism, University of California, Berkeley.
The University of California, Berkeley, invites nominations and applications for the position of Dean of the Graduate School of Journalism. The appointment is effective July 1, 2007.
The School offers a master’s degree program that prepares students for the highest levels of journalism. The School’s purpose is to educate professionals to work in areas ranging from newspapers, magazines, and television to documentary film, radio, photography and new media. (学院的培养目的很明确啊,没有大词,就是要输出合格的新闻工作者和劳动者)
The Dean provides academic, intellectual, professional, and executive leadership and maintains a collegial environment conducive to excellence in teaching, research and journalistic integrity. (对院长的综合素质要求很高,尤其是要对大学环境的了解,以整合教学与研究,注意,这是摆在第一条的)
The Dean also takes a leadership role in raising funds and promoting relationships with alumni and the profession(筹款和校友是重头戏,两者有时候也相关,尤其对公立学校). Applicants for this position should demonstrate an accomplished journalistic record consistent with a position in a news organization of recognized excellence(业内认可是重要的). Top candidates will have a record of demonstrated leadership and administrative skills. Teaching experience is desirable but not required. (这个很重要,要找院长,并不一定是教授,这让我想起了Yale森林环境学院的院长Gus就不招学生,也较少讲课,到时有很多公开讲座)
The Dean may (可以) hold a professorship in the Graduate School of Journalism(注意他也鼓励本院教授申请,这在后面的提名中会体现). Applications should contain a letter of interest, detailed resume, and the names of at least three professional references. Nominations should include complete contact information, through either print or electronic means. (怎么看像申请学校了)
This is a sensitive position and subject to a criminal background check(这个也是要政审的). The University of California is an Equal Opportunity, Affirmative Action Employer.(强调一下机会均等)
嗯,话说的很明确~~是不是意味着暗箱运作的空间就小了。但是不知道这个评审委员会是怎么个构造~
