[ecrea] History of Digital Media Position, NJIT/Rutgers

Tue Nov 20 13:12:48 GMT 2012






   The federated department of history at NJIT/Rutgers-Newark is
   conducting an open rank search in the history of digital media (see
   ad below). History at NJIT is small, but is composed of an
   incredibly smart, collegial, and accomplished group of scholars. The
   teaching load is a 2-2, and there are opportunities to teach and
   mentor graduate students. Though it's a history department, it has
   been very open to hiring people with PhDs in other disciplines.

   In addition, the campus is very accessible from NYC.

   The Federated Department of History at Rutgers University-Newark and
   New Jersey Institute of Technology invites applications for a
   tenure-track or tenured position (rank open), based at NJIT, to
   begin September 2013. Applicants should be able to present evidence
   of scholarly accomplishment and effective teaching and should have a
   Ph.D. in hand by the starting date, with a primary research field
   that focuses on the digital transformation of the last fifty years,

   successful candidate will contribute substantially to the
   department’s M.A. concentration in the history of technology,
   environment, and medicine/health (including the history of
   communication), with additional opportunities to participate in the

   University are located across the street from each other in the
   University Heights section of Newark, with easy access to the entire
