To keep it from getting too wordy, I would just say it like this.

However, you could add \"in the faculty\", but I think it is implicit in mentioning that he is a professor at XXX University. Sometimes \"less is more\" eg. If you throw in too many words just to make sure you have them all, you loose the essence of how something would be actually said in the language you are translating to.

Just a thought!

Also, faculty is actually facultad, but I would not disagree with how the respondant below has worded this. I just wouldn\'t do it this way in this case as it is just too ´many words!

disagree  Paula Ibbotson: This doesn't sound very fluid in English. As well, this is referring to a faculty, not a "career". Sorry!

investigative journalism department or major


Explanation:
carrera in U.S. English would be the field of study or "major." But usually there is no major in investigative journalism per se. That would be one or several courses within the journalism department for students majoring in journalism or working for a degree in journalism.
