[ecrea] Post Doctoral Fellowship in Media and Cultural Studies - Department of Global Communication - The American University of Paris
Mon Dec 06 13:04:50 GMT 2010
Post Doctoral Fellowship in Media and Cultural Studies
Department of Global Communication - The American University of Paris
As part of a multi-year initiative funded by
A.W. Mellon Foundation, the American University
of Paris currently invites applications for a
post-doctoral fellowship, beginning Fall 2011.
Hosted in the Department of Global
Communication, the fellow will contribute to the
building of international joint programs in the
areas of media and communication studies, urban
studies and comparative literature with Eugene
Lang College ? The New School University. The
fellow?s research interests should coincide with
the Department of Global Communication?s mandate
to study media in a transnational context.
During their time at AUP, fellows will have the
opportunity to conduct research and participate
in the university?s scholarly community. They
will also be expected to teach one course each
semester in the department of Global
Communication related to issues of: cultural
diversity; urban environments; or media
technology. It is expected that the fellow will
look for innovative ways to incorporate on-site
telepresence facilities and internet-based
learning resources into their teaching in order
to allow for students in both New York and Paris
to be involved in courses. Finally, they will be
expected to contribute to the development of the
joint program between Eugene Lang College and
AUP through the organization of a regular
research seminar/speaker series for faculty and
graduates that may involve co-ordinating
projects with a post-doctoral researcher based at Eugene Lang.
Successful candidates will need to have a Ph.D.
(granted no earlier than 2008) in Communication
Studies, or a related discipline, as well as
demonstrate the potential for high-quality,
innovative, interdisciplinary research at the
international level. Interested applicants
should include in their application:
· A letter of interest demonstrating your
academic qualifications, research and teaching
interests, and suitability for the position;
· A curriculum vitae;
· Two sample syllabi for courses the fellow would be willing to teach;
· Three letters of recommendation.
Applications must be sent by email to: <(comsearch /at/ aup.htm)>(comsearch /at/ aup.fr)
Review of applications will begin February 15,
2010 and continue until the position is filled.
This position coincides with a parallel
fellowship at Eugene Lang College ? The New
School for Liberal Arts. Applicants are welcome
to apply for both positions, but should indicate
this in their letter of interest.
