The School of Communication at Simon Fraser University invites applications from outstanding candidates for a tenure-­track position at the rank of Assistant Professor in the area of digital gaming in relation to theories and methodologies in the field of communication. Specific areas may include, but are not limited to: eSports and
streaming, gamification, culture and identity, indie developers, ethics,

Our critical tradition to the study of communication includes approaches such as media and culture, technology studies, global communication, culture industries and policy, history of communication, and applied media production, among others. The successful candidate will build on the School’s history of critical engagement while developing new directions in research and teaching to reflect contemporary and emergent issues of digital media and communication. We seek an innovative colleague who will challenge traditional distinctions between critical analysis and applied
approaches.
