The Division of Social Science, Faculty of Arts, at York University  
invites applications for a tenure-track appointment at the rank of  
Assistant Professor in the critical and interdisciplinary field of  
Communication Studies beginning July 1, 2007 (subject to budgetary  
approval). The Division is mandated to provide general education, and  
houses specialized interdisciplinary programs including the  
Communication Studies Program. Information on this program is  
available at: http://www.yorku.ca/artscomn. Information on the  
Graduate Program in Communication and Culture can be found at: http:// 
www.yorku.ca/comcult/.

Applicants are expected to have a demonstrated commitment to  
excellence in research and publication, and an ability to teach in an  
interdisciplinary program. A Ph.D. in Communication or a related  
discipline by the time of appointment is required. The successful  
candidate will be expected to work in both the undergraduate  
Communication Studies Program and the York-Ryerson Graduate Program  
in Communication and Culture and must be suitable for prompt  
appointment to the Faculty of Graduate Studies.

We solicit applications in one of the following two areas:

1) History and Philosophy of Communication Thought.
We seek a scholar whose scope of interest in communication bridges  
the various areas of the curriculum in both the undergraduate and  
graduate programs through inquiry into the central problematics that  
animate the study of communication. We encourage applications from  
scholars from a wide variety of perspectives whose research  
interrogates the core claims and disputes in the field.

2) Global Networks and Media Systems.
We seek applications from scholars with a research program oriented  
toward issues linked to the expansion and proliferation of global  
information and communication systems and technologies. We are  
particularly interested in scholars whose research addresses areas  
such as new media and development; trans-national spaces; social  
advocacy and global networks; global circulation of cultural  
commodities; historical contexts for globalisation; or non-western  
media systems.
