[Commlist] Job: Assistant Professor of Digital Media & Ethnography (Tenure-Track)

The Department of Communication, Film, and Theater invites applicants 
for a tenure-track position in digital media and ethnography beginning 
August 2023. The department is strongly interdisciplinary, with faculty 
who do diverse work in media and cultural studies, public communication, 
journalism, film, theater, and dance. We are especially interested in 
candidates whose teaching and research interests address emerging and 
interactive media technologies/platforms from a media and cultural 
studies perspective and with a strong ethnographic and interdisciplinary 
focus. This includes, but is not limited to studies in: digital 
cultures; digital labor; technology and inclusion, equity, and access; 
technology and identity; media activism; gaming; AR/VR worlds; 
technology and surveillance; or other social-political issues.

A Ph.D. or a terminal degree in media and cultural studies, with the 
focus mentioned above, is strongly preferred by the time of appointment, 
though ABD candidates near completion will be considered. The appointed 
faculty member will design undergraduate courses in their area of 
specialization. They must demonstrate their ability to also teach one or 
more of our core introductory media studies courses including 
Introduction to Media and Culture, Media Criticism, a Digital Media 
Studies course, a methods course in online as well as community-based 
cultural ethnography, and the upper level research seminar. All faculty 
participate in teaching the College’s First and Second Year Seminars, 
and supervise Senior capstone projects (including practice-based work). 
The teaching load is six courses per year, along with undergraduate 
advising.   Opportunities and support for research and scholarly 
activity are available.

Resources at (employment /at/ allegheny.edu) <mailto:(employment /at/ allegheny.edu)>:

diversity, equity, and inclusion into your teaching, research, and/or
