The Department of Communication, Film, and Theater invites applicants for a
tenure-track position in digital media and ethnography beginning August
2023. The department is strongly interdisciplinary, with faculty who do
diverse work in media and cultural studies, public communication,
journalism, film, theater, and dance. We are especially interested in
candidates whose teaching and research interests address emerging and
interactive media technologies/platforms from a media and cultural studies
perspective and with a strong ethnographic and interdisciplinary focus.
This includes, but is not limited to studies in: digital cultures; digital
labor; technology and inclusion, equity, and access; technology and
identity; media activism; gaming; AR/VR worlds; technology and
surveillance; or other social-political issues.

A Ph.D. or a terminal degree in media and cultural studies, with the focus
mentioned above, is strongly preferred by the time of appointment, though
ABD candidates near completion will be considered. The appointed faculty
member will design undergraduate courses in their area of specialization.
They must demonstrate their ability to also teach one or more of our core
introductory media studies courses including Introduction to Media and
Culture, Media Criticism, a Digital Media Studies course, a methods course
in online as well as community-based cultural ethnography, and the upper
level research seminar. All faculty participate in teaching the College’s
First and Second Year Seminars, and supervise Senior capstone projects
(including practice-based work). The teaching load is six courses per year,
along with undergraduate advising.   Opportunities and support for research
and scholarly activity are available.

Please send the following materials, merged into a single PDF, to Human
Resources at [log in to unmask]: letter of application, CV, a
statement describing how you incorporate diversity, equity, and inclusion
into your teaching, research, and/or community engagement, a statement with
teaching philosophy and evidence of teaching effectiveness, and three
letters of reference. Review of applications will begin on December 1st and
will continue until the position is filled.
