Pitzer College seeks applicants for a tenure-track position, at the 
level of assistant professor, in ecomedia. A Ph.D. or M.F.A. is required 
by the time of appointment. We are particularly interested in candidates 
with expertise in and deep engagement with the research, production, 
community-engagement, and other hybrid praxis in ecomedia. Desirable 
foci include environmental/man-made catastrophe, industrialization, 
anthropogenic climate change, interspecies relations, ecojustice, 
environmental racism, consumerism and waste. The Pitzer Media Studies 
Field Group, in conjunction with the Intercollegiate Media Studies 
Program at the Claremont Colleges, has constructed a curriculum that 
foregrounds diversity, inclusion, access, and people’s use of media as 
social and political action to create cultural change. Our faculty 
members offer a diverse and comprehensive set of courses that challenge 
students in intercultural understanding and in social justice theory and 
praxis.

The successful candidate will design undergraduate courses in their 
areas of specialization, demonstrate an ability to teach one or more of 
our core introductory media studies courses, contribute to the College’s 
First Year Seminar program, and will have the capacity to supervise 
capstone projects (including practice-based work). The teaching load is 
five courses per year with the expectation of an advising caseload.

Pitzer College has a strong institutional commitment to diversity in all 
areas and strongly encourages candidates from underrepresented groups. 
We favor candidates who can contribute to the College's distinctive 
educational objectives, which promote interdisciplinary perspectives, 
intercultural understanding, and concern with social responsibility and 
the ethical implications of knowledge and action. Pitzer College is an 
Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. For the successful 
applicant with the relevant interests, affiliations are possible with 
the intercollegiate departments of Africana Studies, Asian American 
Studies, Chican@/Latin@ Studies, and/or the Intercollegiate Feminist 
Center for Teaching, Research, and Engagement.
