[Commlist] Faculty Position at NC State U: Critical Making & Media Production

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.
