[Commlist] Tenured position in Media Industries (Rutgers Univ Dept of Journalism and Media Studies)

The Department of Journalism and Media Studies at Rutgers University’s 
School of Communication and Information invites applications for an 
*advanced Associate or Full Professor* position in the area of *Media 
Industries*. We define media industries broadly, including news, music, 
technology, fashion, sports, and popular culture. The expected start 
date is September 1, 2027.

Some examples of (but not limited to) the types of scholarship that 
would fit the call include:

- Social, political and/or cultural implications for media of artificial 
intelligence

- Critical approaches to media and data infrastructures, platforms, and 
algorithms

- Creator economies (advocacy, activism, professionalization, uneven access)

- Political economy of emerging media

- Cultural policies and legislation (regulation, ethical issues, and 
intellectual property)

- Intersection of media industries with environmental issues and 
vulnerable populations

- Geopolitics and global media corporations

- Changes in social media, streaming, and/or immersive platforms

- Evolutions in the news industry and journalistic practices

- Media industries and audiences

- Media production hubs and urban transformations

- Promotion, media strategy, and social change

- Media labor dynamics

We are especially interested in scholars who study media industries in 
relation to power and inequality, particularly in the context of, but 
not limited to, gender/queer/disability studies. Having or building a 
network of industry/institutional connections is a plus.
