TENURE TRACK POSITION IN MEDIA AND THE GLOBAL SOUTH,
DEPT OF FILM AND MEDIA, QUEEN’S UNIVERSITY
Deadline for applications: December 9, 2022
The Department of Film and Media at Queen’s University invites applications for a Tenure-track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor in Media Studies with a geographical focus in the Global South with a preferred starting date of July 1, 2023.
Successful applicants will employ theoretical, artistic, humanistic, and/or qualitative methods. We seek a candidate with primary commitments to one or more of the following geographic areas: Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Oceania. We welcome transnational, diasporic and transcultural approaches that open representational practices, histories, and theoretical frameworks to unsettle rigid hemispheric binaries. Areas of media studies may include but are not limited to media arts, political economies of media, cultural practices around technology, television studies, popular culture, data justice, social media activism, and curated screen cultures. We are especially interested in candidates who engage with decolonial and/or post-colonial studies, Indigenous studies, intersectional feminisms, critical race or ethnic studies, queer theory, trans studies, and/or disability studies. The successful candidate will teach a variety of courses, including but not limited to their area of specialization. The candidate’s research profile should be strong enough to attract graduate students to the MA/PhD program in Screen Cultures and Curatorial Studies.
Applications should include:
• a cover letter (including one of the two statements regarding Canadian citizenship / permanent resident status specified in the previous paragraph);
• a complete and current curriculum vitae, names and contact information for three (3) referees;
• a research dossier (including two writing samples of no more than 25 pp. each);
• a teaching dossier with at least two outlines for courses previously taught, and
• any other relevant materials the candidate wishes to submit for consideration, from public facing academic, activist and artistic engagement to artistic and/or research-creation material, to other relevant supplementary materials.
