I will have a MA in Communication. How can I get a position in Academia?

You can apply for adjunct positions in more than just the field that your degree is in. Also apply for jobs in your minor field and English (since you have to be competent in it to get a BA and MA). Getting those jobs is basically a matter of applying at every school you're willing to teach at and using any connections you have to make sure they read your resume. Many more people apply than they need. An MA will never get you tenure and probably won't get you benefits or job security. (just something to think about) Fellowships and research opportunities are generally reserved for PhD candidates and are very specific as to field. Unless you're planning on an administrative position (all of those underpaid people the students, alumni, and faculty couldn't function without) , I'd look outside of academia.

You may be able to teach speech at an institution offering Associate level degrees. If you want a higher level position you'll have to go get your PhD.
