Northwestern University Department of Communication Studies
Platforms, Identity & Culture

The Department of Communication Studies at Northwestern University seeks
to hire an assistant professor specializing in new technological
platforms. The appointment will begin on September 1, 2020. Successful
candidates will be expected to develop a strong program of scholarly
research; contribute directly to undergraduate and graduate instruction
in the department; and perform service. Applicants should have a Ph.D.
in Communication or a related field. Salary will be commensurate with
experience.

Ideal candidates will research how platforms affect or relate to culture
from humanistic or social science perspectives. We are open to the study
of a variety of platforms, including social media, television/film,
tech, AR/VR, gaming, music, radio/podcast, art, fashion, news/journalism
or community-driven platforms. We are particularly interested in
candidates whose work engages cultural identity (e.g. race, ethnicity,
gender, sexuality, disability, citizenship status and class) and whose
work will complement the department's existing expertise in
community-based or creative approaches to understanding, critiquing, or
experimenting with platforms.
