*Assistant/Associate Professor of Media Studies – Media Studies 
Generalist***

The Media Studies Program in the Department of Sociology, Anthropology 
and Media Studies at the American University of Beirut invites 
applications for the position of assistant or associate professor of 
Media Studies (tenure-track) to begin August 15, 2018.

Media Studies is a newly established and growing program that currently 
offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees. We are seeking a scholar 
trained in critical, humanistic or social scientific approaches broadly 
conceived, and with breadth of perspective on interdisciplinary currents 
in the field. While we are seeking a generalist, relevant areas of 
research for this position might include but are not limited to media 
theory and history; visual culture studies; television and popular 
culture; political economy and development; and humanistic or social 
scientific approaches to emerging media and network culture. The 
successful candidate will be able to teach undergraduate core courses, 
courses relevant to the Film and Visual Culture minor, and complement 
existing program strengths at the graduate level.

While a research agenda focus on the Middle East and its diasporas is 
desirable, we also encourage applications by candidates who can 
demonstrate the relevance of their current or future work to the region.

Applicants must have completed their PhD by August 2018. The initial 
appointment will be for four years, and is tenure-track. The language of 
instruction is English.

Applications should include a cover letter, a curriculum vita, a writing 
sample, and a list of three references. The application should also 
specifically mention “Media Studies Generalist” in the email and cover 
letter. Application materials must be submitted to (as_dean /at/ aub.edu.lb) 
<mailto:(as_dean /at/ aub.edu.lb)>

Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. For best 
consideration, please submit all required credentials by *October 15,2017.*
