POSITION AVAILABLE: Assistant Professor in Media & Public Policy


 

The Department of Art History and Communication Studies
<http://www.mcgill.ca/ahcs>  at McGill University invites applications
for a tenure-track position to begin on August 1, 2008, in the area of
Media and Public Policy. Although the appointment is expected to be made
at the Assistant Professor level, applications from more advanced
candidates are also invited. 

 

We are open to all critical approaches, but we are particularly
interested in candidates whose work is transnational in scope and
addresses one or more of the following areas: cultural policy; political
economy; globalization; activism; race, gender, ethnicity, ability
and/or minority status. Theoretical approaches are also welcome.
Candidates should have a PhD in a related field; evidence of scholarly
promise will be a major consideration. In addition to conducting
research, the successful candidate will develop courses in her or his
area of specialization and supervise MA and PhD students. She/he will
also be affiliated with Media at McGill, the university's new hub for
research, scholarship and public outreach on issues in media, technology
and culture. Knowledge of French is an asset. Visit
http://www.mcgill.ca/ahcs and http://media.mcgill.ca for more
information about our programs. 

 

Applications should include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, three
letters of recommendation, and two writing samples (20-30pp). The search
committee will begin reviewing applications on November 15, 2007 and
will continue to do so until the position is filled. All qualified
applicants are encouraged to apply; however Canadians and permanent
residents of Canada will be given priority. McGill University is
committed to equity in employment. 

 

Please address applications to: Professor Jonathan Sterne, Chair,
Department of Art History and Communication Studies, McGill University,
853 Sherbrooke St. W., Montreal, Quebec, Canada H3A 2T6.
