[ecrea] Job Posting-Assistant Professor of Media Studies at Purchase College-SUNY

Job Posting--Assistant Professor of Media Studies @ Purchase College-SUNY

Founded on the principle that artists and scholars are indispensable to 
each other and the pursuit of social justice, Purchase College combines 
professional conservatory programs in the visual and performing arts and 
distinguished programs in the liberal arts and sciences.

The Media Studies Program invites applications for a full-time 
tenure-track Assistant Professor to join our faculty, beginning Fall 
2019. We seek a scholar of media cultures who will also contribute to 
the recently inaugurated MFA in Media Arts and Culture. We are 
particularly interested in candidates with an interdisciplinary approach 
(critical race theory, decolonial/postcolonial studies, disability 
studies, indigenous studies, and gender/queer studies) with research in 
one or more the following areas: artificial intelligence, critical data 
studies, digital activism, media archeology, platform studies, and 
social media. Media Studies is intertwined with the Anthropology 
Program; therefore, familiarity with ethnographic methods is highly 
desirable.

The candidate should have a record of excellence in teaching, and a 
passion for working closely with students is essential. The successful 
candidates will be committed to student learning, student success, and a 
liberal arts education. Responsibilities include teaching 5 courses and 
supervising 4-6 senior projects per academic year. Professors in Media 
Studies typically teach 3 required courses and 2 electives in the 
faculty’s area of research. Other duties include mentoring upper-level 
undergraduate students and graduate students, academic advising and 
community service (which encompasses committee work as well as College, 
School, and Board of Study governance).

Located 25 miles north of Manhattan in Westchester County, the campus 
celebrates diversity and creativity, encouraging students to “Think Wide 
Open.” Purchase College is part of the State University of New York system.

Qualifications:

PhD in Media Studies or related field. ABD candidates with completion 
date by May 2019 will be considered but must have the PhD in hand by the 
time of appointment. Evidence of excellence in teaching at the 
undergraduate college level, or of potential as an effective teacher, is 
also required. Candidates from underrepresented groups are strongly 
encouraged to apply.

Applicants must attach the following to the online employment application:

1)    Cover letter should discuss research and teaching, as well as how 
the candidate will contribute to the Bachelor’s and MFA program.
