[Linganth] Brandeis University job ad: TT position in digital technologies and culture (sociocultural and/or linguistic)

[Janet McIntosh]

*Assistant Professor, Anthropology*

The Department of Anthropology at Brandeis University seeks a sociocultural
or linguistic anthropologist with expertise in digital technologies and
culture for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position, to begin July 1,
2019. We envision a scholar who works on digital worlds as emergent from
and constitutive of specific cultural, economic, political, and historical
contexts. Possible specializations might include, but are not limited to,
the internet and social media; language and semiosis; science, technology,
and society; race/ethnicity, class, and/or LGBTQ+ identities; political and
social action; governance and surveillance; infrastructures and labor;
subjectivity, embodiment, and knowledge; and intersections of technology
and value. Any of these specializations might also draw on innovative uses
of digital technologies in research and teaching and might contribute to
the department's new laboratory in media and ethnographic arts. Regional
specialization is open.

Priority application deadline is October 1, 2018; preliminary interviews
will be held by web conference with the aim of bringing final candidates to
campus in late November/early December. Applicants should submit a cover
letter that discusses current and future research and teaching. The cover
letter should also briefly address how the applicant’s experiences,
interests, or future goals could promote pluralism and equity in research,
teaching, and/or service. In addition, applicants should submit a CV; a
writing sample of no more than 40 pages (such as a published article,
article manuscript, or dissertation chapter); and the names and contact
information of three referees. Candidates should apply online at
https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/11386.

At Brandeis, we believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion are essential
components of academic excellence. Brandeis University is an affirmative
action, equal opportunity employer committed to creating equitable access
and opportunities for applicants to all employment positions. We value and
are seeking candidates with a variety of social identities, including those
that have been underrepresented in higher education, who possess skills
that spark innovation, and who, through their scholarly pursuits, teaching,
and/or service experiences, bring expertise in building, engaging, and
sustaining a pluralistic and just campus community.
