The College of Humanities and Sciences of Virginia Commonwealth  
University announces a hiring initiative in Cultural and Media Studies.

We seek a group of dynamic scholars whose work would contribute  
significantly to the interdisciplinary climate of the College of  
Humanities and Sciences. Currently, the College of Humanities and  
Sciences hosts a number of innovative programs such as an  
interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Media, Art, and Text, a Science,  
Technology, and Society [STS] program, established programs in  
American Studies and British Studies, a PhD in Public Policy and  
Administration, and a growing program in global cinema.

We seek applicants and nominations of scholars with competence in  
research areas that would complement and extend our presence in areas  
such as Cultural Studies, Media Studies, Women’s Studies, and Science,  
Technology, and Society. While we encourage applications from a wide  
range of interests and disciplines, we particularly seek scholars  
whose research and teaching interests fall within the following areas:

•	Cultural Studies –with a focus on literary and popular culture
•	Film Studies
•	Multimedia Studies, Transpositions of Old and New Media
•	Policy and Political Communication
•	Sexuality, the body, and identity
•	Media and Gender
•	Social and Cultural Understanding of Health and Illness

Ideal candidates will possess an earned doctorate in a relevant  
discipline(s) and will be appointed in an appropriate academic unit.  
Rank and salary will be determined by qualifications. Areas of  
research and teaching specializations are open. We seek scholars able  
to teach graduate and advanced undergraduate courses, as well as  
introductory courses (e.g. Introduction to Cultural Studies,  
Introduction to Media Studies, Introduction to Film Studies,  
Introduction to Women’s Studies) or courses within established  
disciplines. Desirable candidates will have a theoretically motivated  
research agenda coupled with a secondary expertise or teaching  
interest in a humanities unit.

Applications, preferably emailed, should include a current cv and a  
list of at least three references. Letters of application should  
specifically address why the candidate seeks to work in an innovative,  
interdisciplinary environment, and the ways in which the candidate  
envisages working with and furthering the goals of the initiative.

Consideration of application materials begins immediately and will  
continue until filled. Virginia Commonwealth University is an equal  
opportunity/affirmative action employer. Women, minorities, and  
persons with disabilities are encouraged to apply. Positions  
contingent upon funding.
