[ecrea] Faculty opening at Comparative Media Studies

Tenured Associate/Full Professor, MIT Comparative Media Studies

MIT’s Program in Comparative Media Studies seeks applications for a 
tenured Professor beginning in September 2014. A PhD and an extensive 
record of publication, research activity and leadership are expected.

We encourage applicants from a wide array of disciplinary backgrounds. 
The successful candidate will teach and guide research in one or more of 
the Program’s dimensions of comparativity (historical, methodological, 
cultural) across media forms. Expertise in the cultural and social 
implications of established media forms (film, television, audio and 
visual cultures, or print) is as important as scholarship in one or more 
emerging areas such as media industries and production practices, games, 
social media, new media literacies, software studies, and transmedia 
storytelling.

The position involves teaching graduate and undergraduate courses, 
developing and guiding collaborative research activities, and 
participating in the intellectual and creative leadership of the Program 
and the Institute. Candidates should demonstrate a record of effective 
teaching and thesis supervision, significant research/creative activity, 
relevant administrative experience, and international recognition.

CMS offers SB and SM programs and maintains a full roster of research 
initiatives and outreach activities [ see http://cmsw.mit.edu ]The 
program embraces the notion of comparativity and collaboration, and 
works across MIT’s various schools, and between MIT and the larger media 
landscape.

MIT is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer.

Applications consisting of a curriculum vita, a statement of teaching 
philosophy and experience, a statement of current and future research 
plans, selected major publications, work samples, and names of at least 
three suggested references should be submitted online by November 1, 
2013 at the following link: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/3146.

Questions should be directed to the search committee chair, Professor 
William Uricchio, at (uricchio /at/ mit.edu)
