Assistant Professor of New Media-Colorado College
Colorado College invites applications for an Assistant Professor of New Media (tenure-track) from candidates across the liberal arts whose research addresses the theory and practice of media, digital culture, and technology. An ideal candidate will examine the interplay between society, technology, and art within a broad historical framework. Candidates should also focus on the impact of media and technology on ways of thinking, the production of subjectivity, and the interaction of community and aesthetics.
The Assistant Professor of New Media will be housed in the recently-constructed interdisciplinary Cornerstone Arts Center. Given the primacy of the arts in the Cornerstone, it is important for candidates to demonstrate facility with current artistic theory and practice. As part of their professional responsibilities, candidates will be expected to actively promote the use of Cornerstone's facilities, which include smart classrooms, digital computing labs, and publicly accessible, multi-purpose spaces designed to cultivate connections among artistic and critical practices. This task includes helping to develop an all-college program in Media Studies. Candidates should understand the demands particular to pedagogy in the liberal arts and the college's commitment to critical thinking and writing across the disciplines.
Although the position will emphasize theoretical approaches to the study of media, candidates with teaching experience in a creative field related to their area of research are encouraged to apply. Ph.D. required.
For full consideration, applications and complete dossiers (curriculum vitae, three letters of recommendation, graduate transcripts, and teaching philosophy) should be submitted by January 15, 2011 to:
