Company Profile

Company Description:

The Valenti School of Communication hosts nearly 450 undergraduate students majoring in media production. Valenti has 17 tenure-line and six instructional faculty, and the undergraduate program offers five majors in media production, journalism, strategic communication, health communication, and communication studies. Furthermore, the Valenti School houses the Lance T. Funston Communication Center, a state-of-the-art media and content production facility. The Center encompasses 3,300 square-feet of production space between its two studios, complete with high definition studio cameras. It is instrumental in grooming the future filmmakers and broadcast professionals at the Valenti School. With a production control room large enough to hold an entire class, the Center is both functional and educational. It also houses three HD edit suites running Final Cut Pro X and two audio edit spaces. Field production and equipment checkout is found within the Center as well, with HD cameras, lighting and sound equipment, all available for student use. We are actively searching for diverse voices in the field that represent our culturally diverse and dedicated student body.

The Valenti School and the University of Houston take pride in having one of the most diverse student bodies in higher education. As such, we welcome candidates whose experience in teaching, production, and/or community service has prepared them to contribute to our goals of diversity and excellence. We are committed to bringing in a diverse pool of candidates who reflect groups previously underrepresented in academia and/or candidates who are committed to teaching and producing media addressing these issues as well.

As the fourth largest city in the U.S., a top ten media market, and the most ethnically diverse city in the country, Houston is a vibrant, affordable city to live and work. It has multi-national industries, commercial centers, the largest medical center in the world, a robust arts community, a strong culinary scene, professional sports, an entrepreneurial approach to new technologies, and is the world capital for petroleum exploration and energy. The Chronicle of Higher Education has named the University of Houston as one of the best places to work, and U.S. News & World Report listed UH as one of the most racially/ethnically diverse university in the nation.
