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.
