Assistant Professor in Global Media Studies (Tenure track)
Department of Modern Culture and Media
Brown University
Tenure track Assistant Professor in Global Media Studies, with 
special interests in television
and/or new media in the Department of Modern Culture and Media, Brown 
University, to begin
July 2011.
Modern Culture and Media is a department that emphasizes the 
theoretically informed analysis of
film, television, video, new media, photography, sound technologies, 
and print in the context of
modern and contemporary cultures. The Department seeks candidates for 
a tenure-track position
in Global Media Studies with special interests in new media and/or 
television. We are interested in
a humanities scholar focusing on Global Media Formations. This 
scholar's research should
critically engage the technological and theoretical transformations 
and media flows that are rapidly
resituating all forms of media and social practices: from 
televisuality and new media to gaming,
vidding, and social networking, from consumer culture and imagined 
communities to geopolitics
and war. We are interested in scholars challenging older conceptions 
of national culture, region,
canons, and/or tradition. Possible research interests also include: 
the productions and receptions of
one or more non-Western or Global South media practices, texts, 
audiences and/or industries; the
comparative/historical analysis of the relations between media 
formations and other cultural
practices; and/or the history and theory of one or more media forms. 
This position is subject to
budgetary approval.
Applicants must have received their Ph.D. by the time of appointment. 
The candidate should have
a strong commitment to teaching and be fluent in television and/or 
new media theory.
Applicants should send a letter of application, a curriculum vitae, 
and three letters of
recommendation. Applications must be postmarked by November 15, 2010.
