*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)>.
