The Department of Art History and Communication Studies at McGill  
University invites applications for a tenure track position to begin  
on August 1, 2008, in the area of Media and Public Policy.

Although the appointment is expected to be made at the Assistant  
Professor level, applications from more advanced candidates are also  
invited. We are open to all critical approaches, but we are  
particularly interested in candidates whose work is transnational in  
scope and addresses one or more of the following areas: cultural  
policy; political economy; globalization; activism; race, gender,  
ethnicity, ability and/or minority status. Theoretical approaches are  
also welcome. Candidates should have a PhD in a related field;  
evidence of scholarly promise will be a major consideration. In  
addition to conducting research, the successful candidate will  
develop courses in her or his area of specialization and supervise MA  
and PhD students. She/he will also be affiliated with Media at McGill,  
the university's new hub for research, scholarship and public  
outreach on issues in media, technology and culture. Knowledge of  
French is an asset.

information about our programs.
Applications should include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, three  
letters of recommendation, and two writing samples (20-30pp). The  
search committee will begin reviewing applications on November 15,  
2007 and will continue to do so until the position is filled.

All qualified applicants are encouraged to apply; however Canadians  
and permanent residents of Canada will be given priority. McGill  
University is committed to equity in employment.

Please address applications to: Professor Jonathan Sterne, Chair,  
Department of Art History and Communication Studies, McGill  
University, 853 Sherbrooke St. W., Montreal, Quebec, Canada H3A 2T6.
