[Jeremy Hunsinger]

Assistant/Associate Professor of International Studies
Culture, Media, Technology and Information Flows

The International Studies Department at Macalester College seeks to  
appoint an Assistant or Associate Professor in Culture, Media,  
Technology, and Information Flows. A vibrant department at the heart  
of the College's mission, Macalester's International Studies  
approaches a broad range of global phenomena from multiple  
disciplinary, regional, and trans-national perspectives.

Successful candidates will be effective teachers and scholars in  
fields including (but not limited to) global media industries and  
institutions, video/television/film, the Internet, worldwide news and  
information, or cross-border images and media. The history, sources,  
practices, circulation, audiences, aesthetics, politics, and gender  
and racial dimensions of information and media are all of interest.

Candidates trained in any humanities or social science field,  
including (but not limited to) anthropology, communication, cultural  
studies, history, literature, media studies, sociology, and  
technology studies, are encouraged to apply. A global perspective is  
central to International Studies. Within that perspective, however,  
we seek candidates with particular strengths in South, Southeast, or  
East Asia, the Islamic world, globalizing Europe, and/or Latin  
America. PhD in hand by August 2008. This position will have a formal  
curricular link to the Humanities, Media, and Cultural Studies  
Department, and candidates are encouraged to visit both departments  
at www.macalester.edu.

The appointment will begin September 2008. For fullest consideration,  
send initial applications, consisting of detailed introductory letter  
and CV, to David Chioni Moore, Chair, International Studies,  
Macalester College, 1600 Grand Ave, St. Paul, MN 55105 USA. Email  
queries (but not applications) to mooredc at macalester.edu.  
Applications received by October 22, 2007 will receive first  
consideration.
