We are looking for a passionate instructor with knowledge of economics and experience in the field of journalism.
At our institution, instructors work alongside students rather than in front of them. Our instructors coach students throughout their learning process and provide them with substantive feedback. Research is becoming increasingly important—both for our institute and in our collaboration with students.
Fontys University of Applied Sciences Journalism has launched a new and ambitious curriculum, housed in a new and inspiring educational building designed to support it (construction is scheduled for completion in 2023).
Student autonomy and meaningful education are at the core of our approach. We draw inspiration from HILL, among other sources. The new curriculum is organized around a number of journalistic roles.
What are we looking for in a candidate?
As a person:
- Are you effective in your personal and interpersonal interactions;
- Do you want to continue developing yourself;
- Can you handle uncertainty and are you flexible?
- Do you enjoy working with colleagues and students?
In terms of education and background:
- You have a master’s degree;
- You have knowledge of and at least 5 years of work experience in (a subfield of) journalism, including economics;
- You have a teaching certification or are willing to obtain one.
FHJ strives to build a diverse workforce in order to contribute even more effectively to the enrichment of the journalism field. Candidates with an immigrant background are therefore strongly encouraged to apply.
