Job Announcement: Tenure Track in Media and/or Film Studies



The Department of Cinema & Media Studies at Carleton College invites applications for a tenure-track position in Media and/or Film Studies, starting September 1, 2010. We are looking for a candidate specializing in the histories and theories of television/radio and/or film. In addition to teaching courses on the history of broadcasting, television criticism and media theory, the ideal candidate is prepared to develop curriculum in one or more of the following areas: film studies, television or radio studies, sound studies, and/or emerging media. Ph.D. or its imminent completion is required.



Cinema & Media Studies is a growing department in which critical thinking and creative making are mutually informing. We are seeking a dynamic, program-building candidate who welcomes interdisciplinarity and is capable of developing a national-level program appropriate to the liberal arts. We are particularly interested in applicants who will strengthen the departmental commitment to students from underrepresented groups.
