The Department of Communication at University of California, San Diego http://communication.ucsd.edu/ seeks to fill a tenure-track, Assistant Professor position in digital media studies to begin Fall 2013. The Department is committed to academic excellence and diversity in its faculty, staff, and student body. We are interested in recruiting candidates who are committed to the highest standards of scholarship and professional activity, and to the development of a campus climate that supports equality and diversity.
Required qualifications include Ph.D. and evidence of a strong research program and teaching experience. The preferred candidate will be well versed in the theory and research of digital media studies, and in historical or ethnographic work on the opportunities as well as challenges that digital media present for communication and social change, and will demonstrate a commitment to equality and diversity. We are particularly interested in digital practices and infrastructures in a globalizing world, and given California's historical relationship to Asia, we encourage scholars doing research on that region or inter-regional relations. Nonetheless, we are open to topics that are not area-specific, such as game studies; digital media and law; digital media and sociopolitical change; digital media and economic life. Salary is commensurate with qualifications and based on University of California pay scales. Review of applications will begin November 8, 2012 and continue until the position is filled.
