media studies. The university-year appointment will begin September 1, 2019.



We are interested in a humanities scholar who focuses on global media

social, political, and cultural identities; fandom; and non-Western industries
and media products. Scholars may approach these issues in any period
in the history
of television/media.



A Ph.D. by May 1, 2019 in media studies, or a closely related field,
is required.
The teaching load will be four courses per academic year (courses of
all levels).
The candidate should demonstrate a strong promise of scholarly
excellence, evidence
of teaching effectiveness, and the ability to develop a global
television/media curriculum across the creative production/conceptual
studies divide.

teaching excellence (such as teaching evaluations, etc.), a statement
of teaching
philosophy and experience, a statement of current and future research plans,
and two recent writing samples. All materials should be submitted in PDF form
