[ecrea] Concordia University: Tenure-Track position in Information and Communications Technologies Policy
Wed Jul 11 22:48:53 GMT 2012
TENURE-TRACK POSITION IN INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGIES POLICY
Home to 27 departments, colleges, schools and institutes, the Faculty of
Arts and Science is leading Concordia University to the forefront of
research and graduate education in Quebec and Canada. Recognized for
innovative research in the sciences, humanities, and social sciences,
the Faculty’s renowned Department of Communication Studies invites
applications for a tenure-track position in Information and
Communications Technologies Policy.
We are seeking a dynamic, active and ambitious researcher, working in
two or more of the following areas: telecommunications policy; internet
governance; political economy of ICT industries; social uses of ICTs;
targeted policy issues including privacy, copyright, and intellectual
property; international and global ICT policy. A broad understanding of
Canadian media policy is highly desirable, and experience with graduate
supervision – particularly at the doctoral level – is an asset. In
addition to a promising record of scholarly achievement within the broad
domain of ICT Policy, candidates of interest will be able to clearly
articulate their long-term research agenda together with relevant
funding goals and opportunities. The ideal candidate will compliment
established strengths in our Department and the University, and will be
well positioned to actively participate in national and international
ICT Policy research networks.
Founded in 1965, the Department of Communication Studies at Concordia
University is Canada’s oldest degree-granting department in the
discipline. The Department offers programs leading to the BA, Graduate
Diploma, MA, and PhD degrees. The undergraduate degree in Communication
Studies is highly regarded for its integration of media production and
critical theoretical perspectives. We are the only institution in Canada
to offer an undergraduate program in Communication and Cultural Studies,
and a graduate diploma in Communication Studies. Our MA in Media Studies
is unique in its structure and focus, and our bilingual,
inter-university PhD in Communication offers access to a wide range of
resources and expertise. Our PhD students have won numerous awards and
scholarships, including two recent Trudeau Foundation Scholarships and a
Vanier Scholarship. Our graduates have gone on to become leaders in the
media and cultural industries, as producers, directors, and writers,
among other roles. Graduates of our PhD have become Canada Research Chairs.
The Department of Communication Studies is a highly active research
unit, and we are presently home to three research chairs – Communication
Studies, Mobile Media Studies, Game Studies and Design. Our scholars and
artists have secured more than three million dollars of research funding
since 2010 and we proudly maintain a significant level of engagement
with our students and our research. Numerous research groups and
research labs make up the Communication Studies community, and we look
forward to the addition of a colleague with policy expertise who will
contribute to our vibrant research and teaching unit.
In keeping with Concordia’s mission, the Department fosters inclusivity
in its research, curriculum, and teaching practices, and is committed to
serving the needs of a diverse student population. Montreal is a
world-class city of over 3 million people, offering a rich and diverse
cultural life, and the intellectual stimulation of four major
universities. In addition, the city is a major site of innovation and
excellence in emerging digital media technologies, with significant
government and private industry support. Candidates are encouraged to
visit our departmental website for additional information concerning our
programs and priorities.
Applications must consist of a cover letter, a current curriculum vitae,
copies of recent publications, a statement of teaching
philosophy/interests, a statement of research achievements, and evidence
of teaching effectiveness. Candidates must also arrange to have three
letters of reference sent directly to the departmental contact.
Candidates who have not completed all requirements for a PhD will not be
considered.
