[Commlist] Latinx Studies & Digital Media: TT Position at University of South Florida

We have a great position in our department in Latinx and Digital Media 
Studies. We are advertising very late because USF just went through a 
consolidation process of our three campuses, authority structures, and 
budgets, which resulted in a delay in our ability to begin hiring for 
tenure-track faculty. Given our late entry into the “hiring season,” and 
desire to recruit top candidates, we elected to advertise for a short 
period of time (a month) to make sure we don’t lose the best candidates 
by concluding the search too late.  Here’s a link to the position, and 
below details about the position:
