[Commlist] Latinx Studies & Digital Media: TT Position at University of South Florida
Wed Dec 11 22:29:49 GMT 2019
We have a great position in our department in Latinx and Digital Media
Studies. We are advertising very late because USF just went through a
consolidation process of our three campuses, authority structures, and
budgets, which resulted in a delay in our ability to begin hiring for
tenure-track faculty. Given our late entry into the “hiring season,” and
desire to recruit top candidates, we elected to advertise for a short
period of time (a month) to make sure we don’t lose the best candidates
by concluding the search too late. Here’s a link to the position, and
below details about the position:
