Assistant Professor of Communication and Digital Technologies
Department Statement

Vibrant, multidisciplinary and innovative, the Faculty of Arts and 
Science is one of Université de Montréal’s largest faculties. Through 
its 28 departments, schools, centres and one institute, it offers over 
300 undergraduate and graduate programs, some of which are unique in 
Quebec. It is also home to some 30 interdisciplinary research centres 
and groups. Every day, its 650 faculty members are helping shape a 
better tomorrow by advancing knowledge and encouraging the convergence 
of perspectives.

The Department of Communication is home to faculty members with 
expertise across a wide range of areas in communication studies. Our 
faculty are actively engaged in cutting-edge research, committed to 
excellence in teaching, and dedicated to fostering innovation, often 
through interdisciplinary approaches. We are seeking a colleague 
specializing in communication and digital technologies whose work will 
strengthen our areas of expertise and foster connections with research 
taking place in the Department. The position is open to a range of 
approaches and perspectives for studying contemporary digital 
technologies and the social transformations to which they contribute. 
These may include social and organizational reconfigurations; the 
production and circulation of knowledge; rhetorical, media, and cultural 
practices; infrastructures; regulation; and, more broadly, societal 
challenges (environmental, ethical, political, and economic).

While this is not an exclusionary criterion, particular attention will 
be given to candidates whose work examines the role of artificial 
intelligence in these transformations, whether as a research object in 
its own right or as part of a broader research agenda.

    Contribute to the operation and development of the Department, the 
Faculty of Arts and Science, and the University by participating in 
various committees and working groups (departmental and Faculty
