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

   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.
