UCB j-school seeks podcasting lecturer for the fall semester, deadline April 15

The Graduate School of Journalism is recruiting a lecturer in the Radio /Audio program beginning Fall semester, August 2016.

J-212 – PODCASTING IN THE REAL WORLD (15 weeks)

Required Qualifications: Minimum of five years professional radio/podcasting experience.

Recommended Qualifications: Teaching experience at college level or higher. The ability to facilitate publishing student work on a professional outlet.

Course description: This course is designed to bring students, who are already familiar with basic radio/audio/reporting and production, to a new level of expertise and to learn the dos and don'ts of podcasting. Past instructors helped students create a podcast called "The Bell Curve." http://thebellcurvepodcast.tumblr.com/

The new instructor can either build on the existing structure or work with the students to create new podcasts. It's anticipated that students will produce a minimum of three episodes of a podcast during the semester.
