Position Summary SDSU is seeking a Media Relations Officer with experience in media relations and journalistic science writing — identifying newsworthy research and translating complex findings into clear, accurate, and engaging stories for general audiences. To help tell the stories emerging from the university’s research enterprise, with a particular focus on the College of Engineering, the media relations officer will help tell the stories emerging from the university’s research enterprise. Under the direction of the senior director of media relations and deputy chief communications officer, work directly with researchers, faculty, university leaders, reporters, and fellow communicators to translate complex ideas into compelling stories and help those stories reach audiences locally, nationally, and internationally. This is a hands-on communications role with plenty of variety. One day, you may be interviewing a researcher, writing about a new discovery and pitching the story to national media; another, you may be developing a communications plan as part of a college-wide initiative, preparing a faculty member for an interview, responding to a media inquiry, or creating multimedia and social media content. You will also monitor news and online conversations, assess emerging issues and reputational risks, and recommend messaging and communications strategies. What You’ll Do: Research Storytelling & Content
Media Relations
College of Engineering Communications
Issues & Emerging Communications
What We’re Looking For: We’re looking for an experienced communicator who can move comfortably between journalistic science writing, media relations and strategic communications. You should be able to interview researchers and translate complex scientific and technical information into clear, accurate and compelling stories for general audiences. This is not a grant writing or technical writing role. You should be able to make complicated subjects accessible, recognize a strong story, build relationships with reporters, manage competing priorities, and exercise good judgment when issues move quickly. Above all, this role is for someone who is curious enough to dig into a complicated subject, confident enough to ask the follow-up question, and adaptable enough to switch gears when the story changes. As part of the California State University (CSU) system, San Diego State University helps power one of the largest and most impactful public university systems in the nation.
