Sat Jul 29 20:40:13 GMT 2023





*The Department of Communication at North Carolina State University invites applications for two tenure-track faculty positions in Media Studies at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor beginning August 16, 2024.*

We seek candidates from a broad spectrum of critical, analytical, and methodological approaches. Specific areas of expertise may include, but are not limited to: infrastructure and platform studies, critical data studies (including algorithmic media, big-data analytics, and AI); mobilities and mobile media; game studies; media art; policy, ethics and political economy of media. We especially welcome applicants whose work speaks to the social and ethical implications of media technologies and discourses, for example: social and environmental justice, globalization and coloniality, health disparities, social and economic inequality, and/or inequalities based on race, gender or sexuality.

The successful candidate will have demonstrated pedagogical excellence in teaching and mentoring undergraduate and graduate students, ability to carry out independent and innovative research published in academic journals and other outlets and experience working with a variety of students. The successful candidate will be expected to seek internal and external research funding and develop collaborative initiatives.

Special attention will be given to candidates who can bridge different scholarly traditions and methodological approaches, contribute a diversity of perspectives (including from outside the Global North), and support both of our graduate programs–the PhD Program in Communication, Rhetoric, and Digital Media and MS program in Communication–through teaching and advising.

Tenured and tenure-track faculty members have a teaching load of 2/2, develop courses in their areas of expertise and contribute, through service, to the intellectual life of the Department, the College, the University and the field.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Communication or a related field by August 2024. The Search Committee will begin reviewing applications September 15, 2023. Questions may be directed to Search Committee Chair, Dr. Adriana De Souza e Silva, (aasilva /at/ ncsu.edu) <mailto:(aasilva /at/ ncsu.edu)>.
