Faculty Position at NC State U: Critical Making & Media Production

Colleagues,

I would like to let you know about a faculty position opening we have at
the Department of Communication at NC State University.

*Assistant or Associate Professor of Critical Making and Media Production*

Department of Communication
North Carolina State University

The Department of Communication at North Carolina State University invites
applications for a tenure-track Assistant or Associate Professor of
Critical Making and Media Production.

We seek a scholar who is both able to engage critically with media
technologies and practices and also build, make, and produce new forms of
media. This scholar will bridge multiple approaches to media, including
media theory, production, and critical making. The successful candidate
will have expertise in areas such as mobile and social media, locative
media, games, physical computing, audiovisual production, or media arts.
Key to this position is the interaction between the production of media
technologies and the theoretical understanding of their social, cultural,
political, and economic implications. We are particularly interested in
candidates who will produce scholarship and contribute pedagogical
expertise that integrates creative skills with theoretical understandings
of the changing mechanisms of production, circulation, and uses of media.
Candidates should demonstrate a commitment to equity and diversity in their
teaching and research.

Candidates should be prepared to teach in the Media curriculum of the
Department’s B.A. in Communication and to teach and mentor graduate
students in the M.S. in Communication and the interdisciplinary Ph.D. in
Communication, Rhetoric, and Digital Media (CRDM). Applicants should have a
Ph.D. in Communication or a related field in the humanities or social
sciences.
