[candis callison]

The Department of Communication and Culture at Indiana University invites
applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position in new media to
begin Fall 2004. We seek an individual who focuses on new media to join an
innovative, interdisciplinary program that covers media studies, performance
studies, and rhetoric. While we invite candidates from a wide range of
disciplinary backgrounds, we encourage applicants involved in ethnographic
or historical research that encompasses any type of emergent media defined
as "new" in specific social and historical contexts. This may range from
digital media and networked communication to the emergence of television,
radio, video, or sound recording technologies in various socio-cultural
settings, including nonwestern societies. Applicants should be prepared to
discuss the role that these media play in shaping perceptions of history and
culture, in forging individual and collective identities, and in mediating
social change. Applicants are expected to have a strong research agenda and
a commitment to excellence in teaching. Preference will be given to
candidates who have their Ph.D. in hand by the date of appointment.
Applicants should send a letter of application, curriculum vitae, writing
sample, and three letters of recommendation.  Review of applications will
begin on November 14, 2003. Address applications to: Christopher Anderson,
Chair, New Media Search, Department of Communication and Culture, Mottier
Hall, 1790 East 10th Street, Indiana University, Bloomington IN 47405-9700.
Indiana University is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer.
The university actively encourages applications and nominations of women,
minorities, applicants with disabilities, and members of other
underrepresented groups.
