beginning in September 2010. Appointment will be made at the rank of  
Assistant Professor; Ph.D. preferred, A.B.D considered. The successful  
candidate will teach courses on the cultural impacts and influences of  
media technologies, new media as aesthetic forms, and additional  
contributions to the program's curriculum in film and media criticism,  
history, and/or production. Expertise in one or more of these areas is

media art, digital media pedagogy, transmedia convergence, media and

and media studies as part of an undergraduate liberal arts curriculum.
Candidates should provide evidence of commitment to excellent teaching  
and scholarly potential. Send letter of application with a statement
