[jeremy hunsinger]

The Communication, Culture & Technology (CCT) M.A. program at 
Georgetown University focuses on the relationship between new 
computational technologies of communication and areas such as science, 
scholarship, culture, government, media, business, journalism, and the 
arts.  The program is developing a new lab, which will be a hub of 
technology knowledge, discovery and research, connecting CCT and 
Georgetown to the larger world of practice and innovation in all 
sectors where technology is central. In particular, the lab will 
provide a means for CCT to create partnerships with leading private 
sector information organizations developing innovations in digital 
media, knowledge management, and Internet applications; to remain at 
the forefront of research by creating relationships with initiatives 
in the Digital Humanities and the Information Schools; and push 
forward the boundaries of knowledge through external support by 
agencies and foundations such as NSF and Mellon. 
The program seeks to appoint a tenure-track Assistant Professor with a 
strong interdisciplinary expertise in approaches to the study of 
technology, including history, theory, and current methodologies. The 
appointee will direct the new CCT lab, which will include growing the 
lab, forming external relations, and pushing toward more cutting-edge, 
experimental new media technology.  Applicants must be proficient in 
teaching the technical aspects of how technologies work and how such 
technologies are employed in communication-related fields.  The 
appointee will be expected to help develop and execute a new 
Fundamentals of Technology course, a core course in the CCT 
curriculum, with a focus on the practicum component, and to have 
scholarly publications and teaching experience at the graduate level 
(or comparable), and be prepared to advise and to mentor M.A. thesis 
projects. 
Georgetown University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity 
employer and strongly encourages applications from women and minority 
candidates as part of its commitment to professional excellence and 
diversity.  Please send application letter/statement of interest, 
c.v., and the names of three referees to cctj... at georgetown.edu by 1
