The School of Information and the Radio-Television-Film Department at The 
University of Texas at Austin invites applications for a full-time,
tenure-track joint-appointment position. This appointment, anticipated to
start in Fall, 2007, will be made at the Assistant Professor rank with the
School of Information as the home department for tenure purposes. We seek a
faculty member who can bring vision and commitment to integrating the
disciplines of moving image archiving and preservation with film history
and cinema studies. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and
experience.

The University of Texas is located in one of the fastest-growing centers of
interest in film in the country. We welcome applicants who can leverage
this film culture and help us envision new research possibilities and
bridge traditional divides. Candidates must publish visibly, be able to
obtain research funding, demonstrate excellence in teaching, and have a
commitment to shaping the future of film preservation, access, and the role
of film as a cultural record. We are particularly keen on faculty whose
interests and expertise span the areas of film archives, digital media
research, preservation, and film history and cinema studies. We prefer a
focus primarily but not exclusively on the United States with respect to
film studies.

Candidates must hold a doctorate degree and be capable of teaching and
supervising graduate students in both the School of Information (iSchool)
and the Department of Radio-Television-Film (RTF). Faculty responsibilities
include teaching courses in both the iSchool and RTF (a 2+2 load is normal,
but may be reduced through external funding), mentoring masters and
doctoral students, serving on school and university committees, and
conducting a program of research that meets national standards of excellence.

The University of Texas School of Information is ranked 7th in the nation
among programs in Library and Information Studies, and #1 in the nation in
the area of archives and preservation. The selected candidate would have
the opportunity to contribute to the activities of the Kilgarlin Center for
Preservation of the Cultural Record and the iSchool's evolving curriculum
and research programs in digital libraries and media.

The Department of Radio-Television-Film has 25 permanent faculty,
approximately 950 undergraduate majors & 150 graduate students pursuing
Ph.D., M.A. or M.F.A. degrees. RTF offers courses in film & television
studies, international communication, telecommunication technology &
policy, gender & sexuality, & ethnic issues in communication, film & video
production, and screenwriting.

Review of applications will begin immediately; to ensure consideration
submissions should be received by Feb 28, 2007. For further information

recommendation to: Bert Herigstad, Joint Hire Search Committee, Dept. of
Radio-TV-Film, 1 University Station A0800, University of Texas at Austin,
Austin, TX 78712-0108. The University of Texas at Austin is an
Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity employer. Minorities and women are
