Mon Sep 30 17:53:52 GMT 2019





I would like to let you know about a faculty position opening we have at the Department of Communication at NC State University.

*Assistant or Associate Professor of Critical Making and Media Production*

Department of Communication
North Carolina State University

The Department of Communication at North Carolina State University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant or Associate Professor of Critical Making and Media Production.

We seek a scholar who is both able to engage critically with media technologies and practices and also build, make, and produce new forms of media. This scholar will bridge multiple approaches to media, including media theory, production, and critical making. The successful candidate will have expertise in areas such as mobile and social media, locative media, games, physical computing, audiovisual production, or media arts. Key to this position is the interaction between the production of media technologies and the theoretical understanding of their social, cultural, political, and economic implications. We are particularly interested in candidates who will produce scholarship and contribute pedagogical expertise that integrates creative skills with theoretical understandings of the changing mechanisms of production, circulation, and uses of media. Candidates should demonstrate a commitment to equity and diversity in their teaching and research.

Candidates should be prepared to teach in the Media curriculum of the Department’s B.A. in Communication and to teach and mentor graduate students in the M.S. in Communication and the interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Communication, Rhetoric, and Digital Media (CRDM). Applicants should have a Ph.D. in Communication or a related field in the humanities or social sciences.
