[KineJapan] Job at Michigan!

[Markus Nornes]

 This is excellent job, and calls for a very different profile than mine.
Even if your research centers on Japan, you would get a serious look.
Spread the word.

Tenure-Track Assistant Professor
The Department of Film, Television, and Media (FTVM, formerly known as the
Department of Screen Arts & Cultures), invites applicants for a
tenure-track Assistant Professor faculty position in comparative approaches
to global media studies. The university-year appointment will begin
September 1, 2019. We are interested in a humanities scholar who focuses on
global media flows with an emphasis on television, new media platforms,
forms of streaming distribution, and modes of production and consumption.
Possible research/teaching interests also include history and theory of
global television/media exchanges; transnational media industries and
cultures; streaming and the creation of alternative media practices; the
role of media in formulations of space, place, and geography; transnational
media consumption and the reformulation of social, political, and cultural
identities; fandom; and non-Western industries and media products. Scholars
may approach these issues in any period in the history of television/media.
A Ph.D. by May 1, 2019 in media studies, or a closely related field, is
required. The teaching load will be four courses per academic year (courses
of all levels). The candidate should demonstrate a strong promise of
scholarly excellence, evidence of teaching effectiveness, and the ability
to develop a global television/media curriculum across the creative
production/conceptual studies divide. Applicants should submit a letter of
interest, curriculum vitae, evidence of teaching excellence (such as
teaching evaluations, etc.), a statement of teaching philosophy and
experience, a statement of current and future research plans, and two
recent writing samples. All materials should be submitted in PDF form to:
