Position Opening:
Assistant Professor in ARTS, SCIENCE, AND TECHNOLOGY
EMORY UNIVERSITY, ATLANTA, GA.

Assistant Professor (tenure-track), beginning Fall 2012. MFA or PhD required.
Requirements: teaching four courses per year and active in research and service.

Successful applicants will have a tenure home in a single humanities
or arts department,
but it is expected that their research and teaching interests will be broadly
interdisciplinary (perhaps bridging different schools within the
University). This position
is open to scholars and creative artists across the humanities and
arts, including cultural
studies and linguistics, art history, creative writing, dance, film
and media studies, music,
theater and visual arts.

The successful candidate will engage in innovative explorations of
interfaces among the
arts, science, and technology. Possible areas of focus for this
position might include (but
are not limited to): architecture and design, digital arts (animation,
music, dance, media
imagery, theater and visual arts); the global dynamics of new media;
social media, online
cultures and identities; perception, cognition, and neuroscience of
art; computational
analysis and computational theory of art; and historical and
theoretical perspectives on
sciences/arts relationships.

This position is one of several new faculty appointments in the
humanities made possible
by support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. These interdisciplinary
appointments seek to advance humanistic inquiry by applying its
traditional principles to
new fields of study and by examining traditional areas of research and
teaching by means
of new approaches.

Review of applications begins November 1, 2011; finalists will visit
campus beginning in
late January, 2012. Applications received by December 9, 2011 will be given full
consideration. Applications should include a cover letter, c.v., a
writing sample/portfolio,
a teaching portfolio, and three confidential letters of reference.
