Macalaster College

The International Studies Department at Macalester College seeks to appoint an Assistant or Associate Professor in Culture, Media, Technology, and Information Flows. A vibrant department at the heart of the College's mission, Macalester's International Studies approaches a broad range of global phenomena from multiple disciplinary, regional, and trans-national perspectives.

Successful candidates will be effective teachers and scholars in fields including (but not limited to) global media industries and institutions, video/television/film, the Internet, worldwide news and information, or cross-border images and media. The history, sources, practices, circulation, audiences, aesthetics, politics, and gender and racial dimensions of information and media are all of interest. Candidates trained in any humanities or social science field, including (but not limited to) anthropology, communication, cultural studies, history, literature, media studies, sociology, and technology studies, are encouraged to apply. A global perspective is central to International Studies. Within that perspective, however, we seek candidates with particular strengths in South, Southeast, or East Asia, the Islamic world, globalizing Europe, and/or Latin America. PhD in hand by August 2008. This position will have a formal curricular link to the Humanities, Media, and Cultural Studies Department, and candidates are encouraged to visit both departments at www.macalester.edu.
