[Commlist] job: Assistant/Associate Professor Tenure System in Games Studies

The Department of Media and Information (M&I) at Michigan State 
University (MSU) seeks to hire a tenure-track faculty member to serve as 
Director of our Serious Games Certificate (SGC) program while continuing 
their research, publication, and teaching efforts. We welcome 
applications from emerging and established scholars at the Assistant or 
Associate rank who have sufficient relevant experience in Game Studies 
with terminal degrees from a related discipline, such as anthropology, 
communication, computer science, design, engineering, history, 
human-computer interaction, human-machine communication, information 
science, psychology, science & technology studies, sociology, or 
socio-technical systems. Scholars who examine socially-relevant topics 
(e.g., diversity, equity, inclusion, race, class, gender, sexuality, 
age, education, health, and disability) and their relationship to games 
are especially encouraged to apply. Expected start date is August 15, 2023.


The SGC is a three-course, transcriptable, graduate certificate that can 
be completed either in a hybrid (in-classroom/online) or fully online 
format. The SGC Director is expected to lead the program’s recruitment, 
teaching, and long-term strategy with the administrative support of the 
M&I staff and other associated faculty.

Candidates will be expected to continue to gain visibility through 
peer-reviewed academic publications or a combination of peer-reviewed 
publications and juried creative works. Candidates are expected to 
pursue external funding to support their research and/or creative 
activity. In addition, candidates will teach in our undergraduate and 
graduate programs, as well as advise graduate students.

We welcome applications from individuals from a diverse range of 
disciplinary and methodological traditions who thrive in a vibrant 
academic environment. M&I is part of a communication program ranked #3 
in the world in the Shanghai Ranking, and #9 in Communication & Media 
Studies in the QS World University Rankings. The undergraduate Game 
Design and Development program at M&I was rated #6 (#1 among public 
universities) and the graduate program was rated #12 by Princeton Review 
in 2022.
