FACULTY POSITIONS IN COMMUNICATION AT UCSD

The Department of Communication at the University of California, San Diego,
(http://communication.ucsd.edu/), is committed to academic excellence and
diversity within the faculty, staff, and student body.  Given that
commitment, the department is 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.  Applications are invited for a tenure-track position at the
Assistant Professor level in two areas:


1.  Digital/networked media.  We invite applicants studying any aspect of
emerging digital media and communication forms and practices, from any
disciplinary background, including, for example, game studies, "serious
games," social networking, internet governance, new media and legal regimes,
new media and political participation, distributed learning systems and the
"digital university."  We encourage candidates who integrate research
scholarship with creative practice and/or efforts at advocacy and social
change.  We are highly interested in candidates who work on issues related
to race, ethnicity, and other forms of difference and inequality.  We also
have a particular interest in candidates who work on Asia or on
Asian-American issues.  Our ideal scholar would be one whose body of
research (1) understands emergent media forms as historically and
culturally *situated;* (2) articulates *technology* with *embodied practice*;
and (3) remains cognizant of the ways in which new technologies produce new
limitations on access and usability at the same time that they may produce
new avenues for action and access.


2.  Race, ethnicity and communication. We invite applicants studying any
aspect of race or ethnicity and communication, from any disciplinary
background.  Examples could include "digital divide" issues and the use of
information technology in immigrant or racialized populations, race and
ethnicity in popular culture and media industries, language, bilingualism
and learning, media policies related to cultural diversity and inequality,
critical race and communication theory. We encourage candidates who
integrate research scholarship with creative practice and/or efforts at
advocacy and social change.


Applications will be accepted electronically at
http://communication.ucsd.edu under the “Faculty Recruitment” link.  Submit
electronic versions of a letter detailing research and/or creative interests
and teaching experience, a CV, one representative publication or
dissertation chapter or links to creative work, and contact information for
three references. Applicants are asked to summarize their past or potential
contributions to diversity in their personal statement*.  *Review of
applications will begin on November 15, 2010, and continue until the
position is filled. UCSD is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer
with a strong institutional commitment to excellence through diversity.
