[game_edu] tenure-track position Georgia Institute of Technology

[Susan Gold]

The School of Literature, Communication, and Culture of the Georgia  
Institute of Technology seeks applications from digital media theorist- 
practitioners with a Ph.D. (field open) to fill a tenure-track  
position at the Assistant or Associate Professor level.
We seek a specialist in public media, whose research focuses on new  
forms of digital media that transform the ways people live, solve  
problems, and construct meaning in communities from the local to the  
global scale. The successful candidate should have an established  
program of research, one that uses experimental digital design and  
creation to reinvent public media, education, and/or social practice.  
Possible specialties include but are not limited to: computational  
journalism, social media, global citizenship, knowledge systems, and  
computational creativity. Researchers whose work deals either in local  
communities or in the developing world are of particular interest. The  
successful candidate will not simply focus on technical innovation,  
but will motivate his or her computational invention through a strong  
background in the history, cultural context, and craft practice of his  
or her area of expertise.


The School of Literature, Communication, and Culture supports several  
undergraduate and graduate degrees, offers a growing program in  
computational media and digital media, and provides a core of  
humanities studies for the Institute. Candidates should be prepared to  
teach across the standard curriculum of the School's BS in  
Computational Media and MS/PhD in Digital Media. They should also be  
prepared to collaborate with faculty and students in the School's  
Science, Technology, and Culture and Communication programs. Finally,  
candidates will be expected to form new connections and improve  
existing ones between the School of Literature, Communication, and  
Culture and other schools in the Ivan Allen College (including Public  
Policy and International Affairs), as well as with other colleges in  
the institution (including the College of Computing and the College of  
Architecture).



In addition to a letter of application, kindly submit sample syllabi,  
research statement, cv and portfolio, and the names of three  
references. Email all materials to hiring at lcc.gatech.edu; questions  
can be addressed to Jocelyn Thomas, Assistant to the Chair, School of  
Literature, Communication, and Culture, Georgia Institute of  
Technology, Atlanta, GA 30332-0165. We shall begin reviewing completed  
applications immediately and continue until the position is filled.  
The Georgia Institute of Technology is an equal opportunity/ 
affirmative action employer.
