Assistant Professor in Media and Digital Cultures

Job

We are looking for candidates with a research agenda focusing on emerging issues at the intersection of media and the study of digital cultures: For instance, studies of how the next generation of digital and network technologies play a formative role in the practice of everyday life, culture and society; explorations into how digital cultures are being imagined, developed and experience through techno-economic practices and networks. We also welcome applications from researchers whose work explores the entanglement of algorithmic designs with shifting patterns of media and platform ownership and control. An interest in the intersection of gender, race, and class power dynamics and experience in conducting comparative research are also welcome. Successful candidates should be able to teach classes in theory and method, have experience with mixed method and multi-sited research at the online-offline nexus that includes but is not confined to ethnographic methods. We are looking for candidates who can teach courses in media studies on the BA and MA level, and contribute to our research programme. The position combines teaching (60%) and research (40%).
